St. Liege vs Antwerp Prediction & Betting tips
Standard and Antwerp take on Sunday against each other. For Antwerp the second topper in a few days time. Both teams want to eliminate the disappointment of the previous day.
Too bland in the ‘small’ matches:
What is that with the Standard Liege by Michel Preud’homme? Against Club Brugge (3-1) already called a ‘champion team’, but the next match at Mouscron, last at that moment, a pale 0-0. Last Sunday Standard-Genk was named the best of what Belgian football had to offer, but four days later the Rouches at Zulte Waregem, also last and one in twenty-seven with a big egg in the pants, were swept away with 3- 1. Since the victory against Club, it is stuck with two in nine and only five victories.
Standard has two forms. And Preud’homme does not understand either. ‘It is also difficult to understand’, the coach sang. ‘We do everything we can, talk about it, also with the psychologist, to see the same commitment and concentration from the top press. And then you see that Zulte Waregem is better on all levels. Eupen, Mouscron, Zulte Waregem … we are pre-eminently the team against which the tail teams get a boost. No, we did not do our job. “‘
Again a disappointment so this week with the visit to Waregem. With the first real goal chance, however, Standard took the lead. But the home team played well and was able to equalize before half time. After the game, it went on to win a well-deserved victory and the score could have increased even, even.
First home defeat:
The disappointment at Antwerp was great after the 2-4 home defeat against KRC Genk. Incidentally, the first defeat of the season on the own Bosuil. At Antwerp they are obviously disillusioned but they do not have much time to stand still. They are still at the top of the standings and on Sunday a new topper awaits them with the move to Sclessin. They are preparing for an intense match with a lot of atmosphere and try to keep their place in the ranking at least.
The clash between Antwerp and KRC Genk was one between the numbers three and one from the standings. And whether it was a spectacle competition. After an opening phase in which Genk threatened the most, Antwerp came into the match better. After two perfect counters, they gave up a 2-0 lead. But as good as their first half was, so bad was the second. Antwerp could no longer follow, two penalties were awarded, and Genk deserved a spectacular 2-4.
Laszlo Bölöni did not have to look far to know where it went wrong. “They slapped us KO with those two penalties. We got a boom then and we have not recovered from it. It’s that simple, “says the Romanian coach. “Whether all those decisions were correct. I want to take a look at those penalties and that corner kick at home. With a Jupiler and preferably with the referee and VAR next to me in the seat. Anyway, this is not going to change anything anymore. Genk is the best team in Belgium and they have shown that once again. I must congratulate them. ”
