Football: Belgium Play-off 1 28/04

Today we got two amazing matches in the Belgian Pro League.

Club Brugge - Anderlecht

Odds: 2.60 - 3.35 - 2.50

This is a classic, the "el clasico" in Belgium. Club Brugge (Bruges) isn't playing their best season ever, they do have some quality offensive players (Eidur Gudjohnsen, Carlos Bacca, ...), but as a team they aren't really playing smooth. Anderlecht has played a good season, they were almost certain to lift the Belgian throphy at the end of the season, but they are having a very tough time in the play-offs. Anderlecht has to win this match to regain the lead. The overall record for this match is  in Anderlecht's favour, but not by much. For Club Brugge, Europa League qualification is on stake, their season will be defined as "horrible" if they don't reach at least an EL qualification. A draw won't be easy to avoid when u choose a side on this one. It's just a gut feeling maybe but I think Anderlecht is more likely to take the win today. In fact anything can happen, don't bet high stakes on this one.

Standard de liège - Zulte-Waregem

Odds: 1.80 - 3.60 - 4.00

I didn't really get the odds at first, but they are slightly changing into Waregem's favour. Zulte-Waregem is playing an amazing season, is considered a mediocre team but this season they surprised everybody, even theirselves. At the moment they are in the lead, 1 point ahead on Anderlecht. Standard is playing a so-and-so season, it's a team you can't really rely on this season, very unexpected results. Zulte-Waregem keep on surprising us week after week, if they take the win today they are quite sure for a Champions League ticket, which is unreal. Their stadium's capacitance is 10.200 people, just to prove they are one of the smallest team in the Belgian Pro League. I'm not going to make any prediction for this match, Waregem won this match in the regular competition (0-1). I expect more goals today and who knows, another Zulte-Waregem win. They got an amazing away record because of their powerful counter attacks. In my opinion Zulte-Waregem is capable of winning this match again, but Standard is such an unpredictable team. Value is definitely with Waregem.
