Lokeren vs Eupen Prediction & Betting tips
Lokeren is in his home match on match day fourteen for only one assignment and that is winning. Against the visitors from Eupen, everything is less than a victory a loss. However, the visitors are full of confidence after a nice six out of six.
Lokeren :
Dark, very dark clouds over Daknam the last weeks. Lokeren is in last place with just seven points out of thirteen matches. Trainer Peter Maes was fired last week and with Trond Sollied an old friend of Belgian football replaces him. Added to this was the news that chairman Roger Lambrecht wants to sell the club this year. But a sunbeam through the clouds came through the performance on the field of Anderlecht. A deserved point that they take with them to the vital game coming weekend.
If you had to write a scenario for Anderlecht-Lokeren, it would have looked something like the match was really going on. Olivier Deschacht who scored and got a standing ovation from the Astridpark. A deserved advantage for the visitors. Five minutes later, Landry Dimata equalized Anderlecht’s first good strike. Anderlecht insisted, but it was stuck at 1-1.
Olivier Deschacht did not get a worthy farewell last season from Anderlecht, because he thought he was going to stay. Supporters who had been divided for years about his football tricks closed him in the arms. “I even thought they were whistling,” he laughed nervously. “I will never forget this. It certainly was written in the stars that I had to score today. ‘
Eupen:
Eupen is almost in the left column. Who predicted that a few weeks ago, was probably crazy. But it is absolutely not undeserved. After winning Anderlecht, they won against Cercle Brugge for the second time in a row. On the way to a quiet season. Sixteen points after thirteen matches. That is ten more than the teams at the bottom of the ranking. It looks like Eupen will not have to fight until the last matchday.
Cercle made his farthest move of the season to Eupen this week. The frequent ball loss, the sloppiness and the many mistakes made it a very attractive match. And yet the goalkeepers had a very good day and they both got some work to do. It kept waiting for a goal and that eventually fell out of the sky. Luis Garcia put another deep into extra time and through a visiting leg the ball darted slowly past a cornered goalkeeper. Afterwards, another own goal followed.
Not that it was great against Cercle, but you see that Claude Makelélé has made it a less naïve team. ‘If you are in a positive spiral, it’s already a part of it’, according to goalkeeper Van Crombrugge. But that is not the only difference. ‘In comparison with last season, there is now a much stronger group on the field. Then the group did not fit well together, there were a lot of bad apples. Let us hope that we are now on our way to a trouble-free season. We wanted thirty points, we are already halfway. ”
