Mouscron vs Waregem Prediction & Betting tips
Also this season Mouscron knows how to surprise. After almost one third of the competition, it is simply in a very good fourth place. Zulte-Waregem will receive a visit on Saturday evening. Both teams only lost last month and are in a very good shape. It is therefore certainly not to be missed. Can Mouscron stay in or will Zulte continue their advance to the top and will it be at the same level as Mouscron?
Royal Excel Mouscron:
Last year Mouscron started the season dramatically and was seen as one of the relegation candidates. But after an unlikely end it almost ended up in play-off I. It is on that momentum that this season started and after eight games it is in fourth place with fifteen points. However, it only has a target balance of +3. The team is doing well, but they also realize that every week is a fight for points. That also became clear when it went to Waasland-Beveren red lantern last week.
The duel between Waasland-Beveren and Mouscron was one between two extremes. The home team is in the sukkelstraat, while the Hainauters were playing football on a cloud and fourth. It could be even more impressive, because with a victory Mouscron could even call itself leader for at least one day. Mouscron also quickly took control, but could not create enough danger. The home team was set up like a spring to launch Badibanga and Dierckx. A few times that also gave half chances, but Durmishaj and Koita weren’t lucid enough to turn their efforts around. On the other side, the visitors were efficient. Antonov had only just replaced the injured Bakic or he painted his cross perfectly on the head of City-mercenary Aleix Garcia. Mouscron ahead and Waasland-Beveren in the lead in the final quarter of the first half. The visitors continued to act calculated and carefully after the coffee. There was also no dirt in the air until De Medina committed a totally unnecessary violation. Badibanga aimed the free kick from a very oblique angle into the goal, but referee Vergoote waited for confirmation from the VAR. After a few minutes of searching for the right line, the men in the van decided to reject the goal for offside. The frustration flared up at Waasland-Beveren, which led to ten minutes without control, but full of emotion. Surfing on that emotion, the home team kept looking for the equalizer and it fell twenty minutes before time. Foulon pushed strong on the left and Schryvers tapped his measured pass neatly into the far corner.
With the signs in balance, the storm subsided again, after which the end of the game was a measure for nothing. In the end, the team also called off at 1-1, a result that both teams did not get along well with. Mouscron misses the chance to lead alone. Waasland-Beveren is increasing its points total from 2 to 3 points, but that is anything but a positive balance after 8 matches.
Zulte-Waregem:
After the zero out of six at the start of Zulte-Waregem, it has been since that time that Zulte lost again. Afterwards it worked out with a very handsome twelve out of eighteen. That brought them to a provisional eighth place, but most of all very close to the top six. Provided it does not suffer a loss of points again on Saturday and is able to continue their advance, it may be the top six. Last week Ghent received a visit to Gaverbeek.
With Zulte Waregem (eleven out of fifteen) and Ghent (nine out of nine), two teams faced each other in shape. That certainly provided a pleasant view in the first half. The home team was eager in the early stages and was rewarded with the beautiful opening goal from Seck. Gent took a moment to catch his breath, but just after half an hour Jaremchuk and David put a good combination on the mat. The Ukrainian went down after contact with Pletinckx and flawlessly converted the penalty: 1-1. The pace after the break was a bit slower, but that didn’t last that long. At first, Jaremchuk missed incomprehensibly up close and that cost Ghent dearly. Larin climbed the highest on a cross and the Canadian headed in 2-1. A few minutes later, the bar kept Larin from 3-1. Ghent seemed exhausted, but the game turned over again. Seck suffered a loss of ball and Ghent punished it mercilessly. Jaremchuk ran past Deschacht and equalized past Bossut. The visitors did not seem to feel the tiredness and pushed on. The freestanding DompĂ© popped a beckoning chance for Bossut and Jaremchuk couldn’t put his head against a DompĂ© cross. Ghent wanted to push the accelerator pedal a little more, but suddenly it was ten. Odjidja had unnecessarily tapped Larin after the whistle had already been called and the VAR had noticed it: red. Zulte Waregem was shouted forward by his supporters, but a real final offensive did not come out. Then the biggest chance in the final second was for Ghent: Kubo headed the post. Zulte Waregem, for example, extends his unbeaten series to six games and even on the third attempt, Ghent could not win on the move.
Goalkeeper Sammy Bossut would have preferred his team to take the three points and saw that that would have been possible: “We are disappointed, just like Ghent, that we are not taking the three points. With both goals we make small mistakes. I will go with the goalkeeper coach analyze what I possibly did wrong with 2-2. If everyone performs their duties, then we can bring even more. But you should not underestimate Ghent, I think that Ghent will play for the title. ”
