Belgian Jupiler League Week 2 Saturday Previews

These are previews from the Belgian Jupiler League with all the latest on team news, player form, injuries and my personal betting angles, ...

( Asianodds available on Sportmarket Pro )

Easy 6-0 win for Club Brugge yesterday making it 3W-0L one the pre-game BTC bets so far. I didn't manage to get in as much as I wanted because of the lower early limits at the Asian bookmakers who play the game very smart. I also really need to put my full focus on the league as I notice myself getting wat too distracted with steemit and everything that is going on there (Steemmonsters Guilds / Steem-engine / my @upvoteshares initiative, ...) which can be quite overwhelming. 4 more matches today I looked deeper into. I took a couple of smaller bets and will likely have another bet I take extra on in BTC tomorrow that will be posted on my Twitter account (@costanzabets) the moment I take it...

Standard vs Zulte-Waregem

Both these teams showed in the first week that they are simply not ready yet. Standard has a lot of missings (Vanheusden, Ochoa, Oulare, Avenatti) and played a poor 1st half against Cercle Last week. When both Carcela and Limbombe came it they started to be a bit more dangerous and won with a flattering 0-2 Score at the end. Zulte-Waregen was a team with a lot of goals last season but they lost a lot of offensive quality with Bongonda and Harbaoui. They pretty much got punished on the counter losing deserved at home against Mechelen. I see the over line being overly influenced by last season of Zulte-Waregem. Both teams currently should not be that free-scoring and Standard has shown to slow down and control things when they take a lead under Preud'homme. I took some small bets and split my stake between Standard vs Zulte-Waregem Under 3.25 @ 2.02 (Small) & 1st Half Under 1.25 @ 2.04 (Tiny). As always I will be watching it live and trade out of it if needed/possible.

Kv Kortrijk vs Charleroi

Kortrijk was underwhelming against Genk. They don't seem to have the team to make the play and lack true scoring power in the offense. Charleroi has a team that builds upon last season and looks to play somewhat the same defensive style. They played a fairly good match against AA Gent but lacked the scoring power of Osimen. I don't expect a wild match despite the fact that the home/away total numbers of last season indicate this and I see the Vistors as the better team right now. I took some small bets on Charleroi +0 @ 2.28 | Under 2.75 @ 1.85 | 1st Half Under 1 @ 2.11

Oostende vs Cercle Brugge

Oostende managed to take the win away against Anderlecht playing an ok match, winning mostly due to the fact that Anderlecht played extremely naive. Oostende mostly showed to be quite good defensively. Cercle was not good and not bad mostly looking inexperienced which will likely cost them points late in matches. If they get ahead I will be looking to oppose them against better teams. Their new strike Saadi (Ex-Kortrijk) looked quite poor in the attack. Oostende will likely play for the full win as they have a very tough schedule ahead of them. My lean goes out to the home team and the under but I haven't taken anything just yet.

KV Mechelen vs Racing Genk

Mechelen showed in the Supercup that they were not really ready yet while in the first match against Zulte-Waregem it seemed that the team has the advantage of having few new players. Genk is still a bit of a question mark for me, I don't see them anywhere near what they used to be last year at their strongest but they do have some good offensive options. So far they have not gotten any opposition yet and I expect a difficult match for the. Teams that promote usually put up a very good performance in their first home game regardless of the opponents. I'm willing to take a bit of a gamble on that and took some Mechelen +0.5 @ 2.050
