These are previews from matches involving Belgian Teams with all the latest on team news, player form, injuries along with my personal betting angles, ...
At least a positive start of the new week with 1 small live bet on the Champions League Qualifier match on Tuesday. 4 Important matches today for Belgian Teams all played at the same time so it will get quite hectic.
Union vs Lugano
Union (32M) last season impressed in the Europa League taking the 1st place in their group against Berlin, Braga, & Malmo afterward reaching the quarter-final. However, not much is left from that team as Boniface, Teuma, Kandouss, Adingra, Lynnen, Nieuwkoop, ... all left leaving them pretty much with an entirely new squad and a new coach. They looked to just continue in their ways at the start of the season taking 3 wins with good performances and some solid defense. However, the first real big crack showed last weekend with a 4-0 loss against Kv Mechelen. In that match, Mchelen finished at 200% and Union looked very vulnerable on counters. Even if they don't quality, they are sure of European Football in the conference league. Lugano (24M) is a swiss team who are currently 2nd after 4 weeks and they failed to quality for the Conference League last season with a loss over an Israelian team. Last season they ended 3rd and they won the cup, Union recently bought their striker Mohamed Amoura as a replacement for Boniface but he isn't allowed to play yet. Union won't play in their own Stadion today but again in Anderlecht where the pitch seems to not be best at the moment, Lugano also won't play in their home stadion the next week. The facts that Union did well with a completely different team last season in Europe, while they don't play at home coming off the first match 4-0 losing where they saw some cracks makes me feel like they are too big of a favorite against Lugano who are doing well in the league and have a comparable overall player value. It made me take a tiny gamble ogf just 0.1 unit on
Lugano +1 @ 2.064
AA Gent vs APOEL
AA Gent (83M) started the season pretty well looking quite solid especially on the offensive end where they can score at any given time in a match. The main working point in their last 2 matches has been their motivation. In the 2nd leg of the previous qualifier match where they already were qualified they played at 60% and also in the league they started way too passively being overrun by Stvv. In the 2nd half however they managed to make a comeback and still take a draw. APOEL (14M) is an older team with 2 players who formerly played in the Belgian League with Ndongala, Kvilitaia who I don't recall as standing out. Given the budget difference, overall form, players from opponent that don't really impress, ... I can see AA Gent as the clear favorite here also knowing that they play at home first and are aware that they need to make the difference now. I took also just tiny bets here of 0.1 unit on
AA Gent 1H -0.5 @ 2.063 &
AA Gent -1 @ 1.875 and will be looking to possible increase along the way.
Genk vs Demirspor
Genk (126M) so far has had a very frustrating start of the season getting eliminated for the Champions League against a team who they always should have beaten and doing that over in the Europa League to now having to fight for their European Ticket still in the Conference League Playoff. In the league so far they have a disappointing 7 out of 12 winning both of their home matches while taking a surprise home 0-1 loss against Eupen and a 0-0 draw against Charleroi. In those 2 matches, they had 2,00 and 1.97 expected goals so it's not that they aren't creating anything. However, they do have some big missions today in Paintsil, Trésoe, and Heynen. Demirspor (37M) is a turkish team who already got passed Cluj and Osijek in the qualifier rounds with each of those matches having both teams score. Genk even with some missing as the team who originally played for Champions League should have much more quality compared to Demirspor who needed 2 winning qualifier rounds to get to this stage. While they haven't had the results, the play and creation of chances indicates that they mostly have been running cold. I did take 0.15 units on
Genk -0.75 @ 1.813 & 0.1 unit on
Genk 1H -0.25 @ 1.773 also here with an eye to possibly take more.
Osasuna vs Club Brugge
Club Brugge (135M) started the season with some hesitation and a 1-1 home draw against Mechelen but already seem to be fully in the zone now with some great football and players in good form. It must be said that the morst recent matches all were against weaker opponents. They however feel like one of the teams you can count of that they aren't going to have a complete off day .Osasula (137M) was 7th last season in the Spanish League and started the season with a win and a loss. Both these teams have the potential to have a deep run in the Conference league and it feels like an anomaly that they are faced against each other in this qualifier round. The Weather is set to be hot which will be a factor not only for Club Brugge but also for Osasuna. I do trust Club Brugge right now in that they will put up a good performance and see them as the favorite to qualify. A draw sould not be the worst result and I took just 0.132 units on
Club Brugge +0.25 @ 2.00 & 0.068 units on
Club Brugge +0.5 1.752while keeping my eye open for a potential Club Brugge Team Total Over bet Live.
