Anderlecht again showed the exact same pattern of playing a great 1st half yesterday being unable to score because they lack a real striker to follow up with a 2nd half where they get punished losing the match. On to of this, Kompany got injured along with Sandler which will give them more problems in next week's match. Only 3 matches today with Charleroi vs Club Brugge which was supposed to be the 18:00 match being delayed...


Cercle Brugge vs Waasland-Beveren

This is the match between the 2 teams that are on the bottom of the table right now. Usually, these matches start out with low-quality nervous play where the fear to lose is bigger than the will to win resulting in law scoring 1st halves. Both Cercle and Waasland are quite offensive-minded though so I will skip on that angle. Cercle Brugge usually plays good 1st halves often scoring the first goal but have always given it away against good opponents mostly because of lack of experience. They will be missing Taravel on the defensive part today. Waasland has been one of the worst teams in the league and showed to be really vulnerable in the defense. Their coach Custovic is under heavy fire already and might be let down if he loses this match. The Eupen vs Waasland match where they were really good in 1st half while dropping back in the 2nd half is the main reference for this match. I rate Cercle Brugge the better team and price seems to be set about right to me. This will very much be a wait and see match with the main live betting angle to bet Cercle at a better price if they are up for it or if they get behind. No Pre-Game Bets


Sint-Truiden vs Zulte-Waregem

I had an early bet last week during the Sint-Truiden match after Botakka got injured and important striker Boli suspended on Zulte-Waregem +0.5 @ 1.920 as shared on Twitter (@costanzabets) and the SBC Discord Channel at the time of taking at Sportsbet.io. By now the price is down to 1.44 so huge value and it's possible to take some solid profit without risk right now. I usually just let these bets run but it is tempting to lower the risk a bit at current odds. The under bet also interest me. Zulte-Waregem seems to have replaced Bongonda and Harbaoui with Berehino, Larin and Oberlin who starts on the bench.

The total line seems to be set way too high to me but I can't really explain why so I will proceed with caution and just took a small initial bet with caution on Under 3.25 @ 1.97. Stvv with or without Boli is a huge difference offensively and I can't see them free-scoring tonight against a decent enough Zulte-Waregem defense. I also have the Under in corners on my radar and took my chance with a tiny bet on Under 9 CK @ 2.47 (all bets were taken at Sportmarket Pro). Zulte-Waregem has been an under corners team for a while now and this trend continues this season while lines haven't adjusted all that much because of the over reputation they build up over the years.


Oostende vs KV Mechelen

Kv Mechelen so far is the team that crushed their Asian Handicap Lines being 4W-0L-0P against them. They punished Zulte-Waregem who were clearly not ready yet away on the counter, played a great match at home against a poor Racing Genk winning 3-1, were lucky to keep a 0-0 score in the match against Anderlecht were they got dominated and git behind at home against Cercle Brugge where they managed to make a comeback. Oostende has looked like an ok mid-table team that is not good enough against top sides. Mechelen is suffering quite some injuries with Engvall, Van Damme, Dijker & Van Cleemput being out for this game. I don't see the difference between both teams as big enough and had to take a medium bet on Oostende +0.25 @ 1.860. Mechelen is a better home team and this is a long travel for them. I also like the Under bet especially the 1st half under as the home team will likely fear the counter making them take less risk. Both are quite capable defensively and don't have killer scoring power. I split my stakes between 1st Half under 1 @ 2.280 and Under 3 @ 1.763. I'm still in doubt if I will take extra on any of them in BTC but will make sure to share it in time on Twitter (@costanzabets) if I do.
