These are previews from matches involving Belgian Teams with all the latest on team news, player form, and injuries along with my personal betting angles, ...
I've been grinding out some profit in the past days even though not all my takes on the matches were right but I always controlled things pretty good. I hope to continue this good streak to get to a point where I get more confidence to take bigger bets and reach toward my aimed weekly volume. 4 matches today and each of them is interesting in their own way...
Westerlo vs Charleroi
Both teams can be seen as revelations this season. Charleroi has brought a very consistent quality especially at home but also had a couple away matches (mediocre against Antwerp losing 3-0 and also not playing that great away against kortrijk despite the 1-3 win.). Westerlo started really poor as they have a ton of new players but managed to get into a winning streak where they just brought very solid play. This winning streak however was broken and they had an overall weak performance last week away against Anderlecht and the week before they played at home against Beveren. They have been an over team going 8W-2L on their total lines and oftentimes things get wild especially at home in the 2nd half. Each week I thing 'I should have just bet Westerlo over'. Just because I'm left with that feeling, I already took 0.18 units on
Over 3 @ 1.910 yesterday. Charleroi has been an over team at home but an under team away. So far this season, each of their matches has them at over 1xg created with an average of 1.913xg. For Westerlo not counting their first 3 matches where they were still searching, they are at an average of 1.923xg created. I do expect a match where both teams play without fear and with a drive to win which might create another entertaining Westerlo match with goals today. I can see how given the form of the last macthes Charleroi is the slight favorite. I added 0.08 units on
Over 3 @ 1.979 and also took 0.04 units on
Over 5 @ 8.633. I also will look to increase my stake possibly on the over in-game either if it looks like a match where there will be goals or if it's rather boring and line goes down quickly as these are teams where goals can come out of nowhere in bunches.
OH Leuven vs Kv Mechelen
Mechelen is a tricky team as they started the season extremely poor and they kind of continued this pattern of being very underwhelming yet they started winning recently somehow which got them in 10th spot. They had a mid-week match against kortrijk where they fell behind but a red card followed by a free kick which went in and 2 own goals gave them the win, Against a poor Genk, theyscored the 1-0 out of nowhere and somehow managed to hold, The week before against Stvv, they somehow won 4-3 on 0.74xg created and it was another flattering win. So right now, I still rank Mechelen as a lower mid-table team who aren't bad enough to relegate with all the luck and momentum on their side. They might have some fatigue but at the same time in the past often when teams went on a streak with a mid-week match, this enforced to momentum more. OHL started the season not playing that bad but failed to take points but eventually got going also because they loaned striker Mirisola from Genk. Last week, they managed to win 1-2 from Stvv which was rather flattering as they got 2 penalties against which were stopped by their goalkeeper who previously lost them multiple points. At the same time, the win was no hold-up. They tend to start matches strong with a lot of intensity, at the same time Mechelen is last in the away 1H standings with only 2 points. So for me the play is to somehow back OHL on the 1st half and I took 0.3 units on
OH Leuven 1st Half +0 @ 1.751 and would increase on the stake at 1.80 odds or more. I'm also keeping an eye out on the OHL 1st Half corners as I do expect them to be the team with most initiative going forward and they won their previous 2 1H corners against similar teams.
Antwerp vs Lommel
The reality of Antwerp is that at best right now they are a mid-table team. They showed a spark of hope in the stunt home win 2 weeks ago against Charleroi which came out of nowhere and they failed to confirm last week away against Cercle who are a team who prior had not yet won a match. The only bright side was that they for the first time stayed below 1xg against while over the season they still are at an average of 2.09. In the last home match they also played more forward and I do expect them to do this again. However, they are missing Vermeeren and Somers which might lower their overall quality a bit. Lommel currently is in 8th place and continue to do quite well. Last week, they broke the winning streak of AA Gent even though they needed a red card and many injured players from AA Gent as they only defended and didn't come out in the 1st half. The week before they plated 2-2 against OHL away in a match where mainly the 1st half was good. They are 4W-1L against the asian handicap in away matches also this season and more overish in away matches compared to at home. The last time I backed Lommel away as the Underdog with confidence was in the cup match against Stvv where they lost 4-1. I'm going to give them another go with a 0.3 unit bet on
Lommel +0.5 @ 1.998 along with 0.1 units on
Lommel 1st Half +0.25 @ 1.910, & 0.1 unit on
Antwerp Team Total under 1.75 @ 1.870. I'm also leaning toward Lommel Team total Over 1 if that becomes available in-game at ok odds.
La Louviere ve Cercle Brugge
Cercle Brugge I still see as a team who is ranked below their potential as somehow they always manage to screw themselved. Last weekend, they finally took their first win at home against Antwerp again almost screwing it up and strangely enough this was followed by their coach getting fired. They already have a new one with Pedro Caixinha and it remains to be seen if this coach change brings the 'shock effect' or breaks now the momentum which turned positive after the first win. La Louviere is a team who looks like a big relegation candidate (more so than Cercle). This season, they took 2 wins so far which came both at home and against poor teams Kortrijk (3-0) & Zulte-Waregem (3-0) which both kind of can be seen as a reference for today. Last week, they got abosolutely crushed by Charleroi and away from home they lost all their matches so far. Overall, I see Cercle Brugge as the better team who I believe will end above La Louviere this season. There is the potential coach change effect and they are coming off their 1st win, so I was willing to rather cautiously take 0.4 units on
Cercle Brugge +0 @ 1.929
