Waregem vs Antwerp Prediction & Betting tips
After the heavy European sacrifice, Antwerp moves to Waregem. A difficult assignment because the home team has recovered with a nice seven out of nine. Can they continue their advance?
Zulte Waregem:
It is going fast at Zulte Waregem. With their recent seven out of nine corpses, they left Waregem. Yet they do not sit still and have made a few transfers. Shortly after they announced the arrival of Gideon Mensah on the left, they again proposed a transfer. Abdou Sissako goes to the Gaverbeek. The defending midfielder comes over from Châteauroux from the Ligue 2 and signed a three-year contract plus an option for an extra season. “Conquering balls and recovering is my main quality,” he told the club site. “Call me a modern box-to-box player.”
Zulte Waregem had gained confidence with a six out of six and also stuck at Sint-Truiden in the game. Thanks to Cyle Larin, it was even almost full-blown, but STVV would not have earned that. After all, the Limburgers took more initiative. The target danger, however, was scarce.
Waregem never claiming profit. “Yes, I am disappointed because we could not make the difference. We must be satisfied afterwards. If you cannot win, you must ensure that you do not lose. We did not come into our game today because the opponent did not allow it, but also because we moved too little, too much in the duel, too much with the face to goal. As a result, no vertical combinations were possible. Moreover, we were not at the front. In the second half we were in better shape, but today we could not bring our football that we could in principle bring and of course I had hoped. ”
Antwerp:
Until 9 pm yesterday evening everyone at Antwerp lived on a (European) cloud. Excellent start to the competition but also European on schedule to reach the groups of the Europe League. In the last game it was never down until first Diemerci Mbokani took a dumb red card. If afterwards also the light goes out at Lamkel Zé and runs into an even stupid red card, then the European story is over and over. A serious sacrifice from which they must recover.
Against AZ it looked good for Antwerp for a long time. Even with a man less. Antwerp‘s intention was to give solid counseling. It worked so hard until suddenly substitute Martin Hongla rushed into the depth and delivered a perfect pass to his countryman. Lamkel Zé headed hard into the corner. The King Wood Owl Stadium went crazy and, unfortunately, Lamkel Zé too. He immediately went up the slope towards the spy head, jumped up the fences and … received his second yellow card. With nine against eleven Antwerp lasted a long time, but the match lasted a few minutes too long.
“Come off,” I shouted, but Didier walked the other way. It is a shit, I have no other words for it. “These are the words of Alexis De Sart. Laszlo Bölöni also couldn’t help but laugh. “Whether it was because of the emotions? We may have to talk more about stupidité. As a pro you should know the rules. Although I did not understand anything about his first yellow card, nor about that for Dieu. The ref only whistled in one direction, hence the frustration of the fans. The nine players on the field have given everything, but it was not allowed. This is very difficult to disguise. ”
