St. Liege vs Anderlecht Prediction & Betting tips
We open football Sunday with a real classico. Standard receives Anderlecht. Can the Rouches deepen their aggravated rival? Or does Anderlecht play the injured animal that could come out of the corner dangerously?
Standard:
Standard started well again at Mouscron and scored an early 0-1. But when Paul-José Mpoku got a dark red card early in the second half for a charge, the Rouches completely lost control of the match. To make matters worse, Mehdi Carcela also got red after he played hard on Mohamed. Because of his history, there is a good chance that the prosecutor’s office will demand a more severe punishment for Carcela. He therefore almost certainly misses the match against Anderlecht, just like Mpoku. And they could also be suspended for the cup match against Antwerp.
Whether Cimirot has recovered from his injury to the Achilles tendon by then is questionable. The Bosnian was injured during the warm-up. “Without Mpoku and Cimirot, it will be puzzling in that midfield zone,” Preud’homme said. “I would rather not have brought Maxim Lestienne because he was less than a hundred percent. But we needed him. “Obbi Oulare is also injured, although he is expected to return soon. Furthermore, Milinkovic-Savic and the long-term injured Noé Dussenne, Merveille Bokadi and Anthony Limbombe are in the rag basket.
A sore Michel Preud’homme took his stars afterwards for protection. “Who takes red? They are not defenders, are they? Those are attackers who are frustrated because they were knocked down every time in the switch, “he complained in front of the TV cameras. “Only after a dozen times was a card drawn for that. And if they, as an attacker, go a bit awkwardly, they immediately get red. That is frustrating for players who want to play football, such as Carcela and Mpoku. You see this every week on our fields and as long as you allow it in Belgium, teams will always use it. ”
Anderlecht:
It’s mediocre. And with mediocre you don’t get Play-off 1. Anderlecht drew 0-0 against Charleroi for the sixth time this season. It lacked strength, power, inventiveness … But can we expect more from this team? Without Vincent Kompany and Necer Chadli, the Purple & White played with his youngest team ever: an average of 20 years and 332 days. Anderlecht are not making any progress and will have to go to Standard next week. “We have to admit that it is still mathematically possible,” Francky Vercauteren concluded. “Giving up would not suit the status of this club. If we play as a team, we can show beautiful things. ”
The Purple & White were offensive against Charleroi again, certainly in the first half. This is not Anderlecht 2.0, but Anderlecht 0.0. For the sixth time this season, it became a scoreless draw. That is in one match in three and 540 minutes of soccer. We have all been watching this team for at least nine hours without seeing one goal. It was striking that Vercauteren only introduced Michel Vlap in the 88th minute and Yari Verschaeren even in the injury time. The public even whistled for that.
“Well, there is always comment,” the coach replied. “Either you switch too early, or you switch too late or you switch incorrectly … I saw few reasons to change and risk risking the balance. Only when some of them no longer performed their duties did I intervene. “Anderlecht were at the start with six self-trained players, while Kayembe received his post-formation at Neerpede. There are only four teams across Europe who will take on a team this season that is on average younger: Heerenveen (the Netherlands), Nordsjaelland (Denmark), Dac 1904 (Slovenia) and Energetic (Belarus).
