Waregem vs Gent Prediction & Betting tips
The final round of the round in play-off 1 starts with a match on Tuesday evening. In the Rainbow stadium Zulte-Waregem and Ghent meet each other. The title seems way out, so the most feasible is another place.
Waregem :
Zulte-Waregem has already lost his European ticket by the cup win. Many more did not dare to dream at the start of the season. The only nicer could be title or second place but this also seems far away after a two to twelve and four points behind number two Ghent. The ideal moment to reduce the gap.
Just like in Oostende Waregem again went to Charleroi this weekend in the final phase. It was very close, just like just about all matches in PO1 this season. The teams were perfectly balanced. Charleroi was a little more dangerous in the second half and scored nothing. Coach Franky Dury does not want to know a lack of motivation with his team after the European ticket already reached.
Waregem has been defeated at Ghent on seven matches against second place and will win his last tricks. Waregem lost only one time this season against leader Anderlecht and this defeat could certainly be avoided. The coach will count on the honor of his players and also want to prove something against the club where he never got the time to work out his system and forwarded it in a timely manner.
Gent :
Gent had not pronounced his title ambitions but they were after the good start they had taken in this play-off 1. However, they left two points against Oostende on Friday night and this seems to be the culprit. From now on, the focus will be on the ambitious ambition: getting European football. Trainer Hein Vanhaezebrouck also stated after the match: “We could do a fantastic job by placing Oostende at eight points, now that’s not the case. We will still have to knock for European football. ”
The loss of points is a pity because the Buffalo played an excellent game. But like many games in these playoffs, it’s just about efficiency and that’s just what’s missing. Spits Jérémy Perbet got two open opportunities but failed every time. That’s why Ghent broke up and luckily could still get the 0-1 deficit. Yuya Kubo scored again with his seventh hit in eleven duels.
Gent not only lost point loss, there was also other damage. Esiti took a third yellow card in play-off 1 and was suspended. Mitrovic suffered from hamstrings and Brecht Dejaegere fell out with an ankle injury when his replacement was ready. The odds seem very small that Dejaegere will get the match from Tuesday. Still the disadvantage is the statistics of the past. Ghent could finish his last victory on Waregem’s field on September 11, 2011. After that, it could not win seven more matches.
