Today 5 games, of which only 4 are generally offered. The example odds here are from Gamebookers

Louvièroise v Standard Liège 2.60 3.20 2.40
Westerlo v Genk 3.20 3.25 2.02
Lokeren v Mouscron 1.45 3.85 6.00
Club Brugge v Mons 1.20 5.50 10.00


Lokeren-Moeskroen 1 @ 1.50 with Bet365

Lokeren are the inform team, with 24/27 points in second round. Moeskroen are the outform team, with only 3/27 in 9 games. Moeskroen has nothing to go for anymore and is missing some of its finest players (Mpenza, Martic and Teklak. The more brave could take here Moeskroen on asian 0:1 1/4 @ 1.95 with Gamebookers...

Club Brugge-Mons 1 @ 1.25 with Bet&Win

Don't expect a high score, but Brugge will want surely to win this game after two defeats on a row, of which the 5-1 in Anderlecht was really humiliating. Usually Mons is quite good organised, but they still lost 4 of their last 6 games. No asian handicap here, unless you favour of course Mons, which i would not recommend

Westerlo-Genk 2 @ 2.10 with Bet365 (small bet)

Genk has to fight 100 percent to stay in the run for the UEFA cup next season, whereas Westerlo is one of the worst hometeams in Belgium (only Mechelen and La Louviere do worse). If you find some decent asian on Genk this could be also possible, since i favour their chances of winning rather high. Genk misses Sonck, but has in Dagano, VdBergh and Daerden enough offensive talent. Small bet because of repeted "offdays" recently, so we are never really sure with this team...

La Louviere-Standard 2 on asian 0:0 @ 1.8 with Gamebookers

Standard has nothing to go for anymore, but La Louviere is 2nd worst hometeam in Belgium (only 3 wins in 13 homegames) and Standard has still to take some small revenge for being eliminated by this team in the Quarter Finals of the Belgian Cup.

For Sunday Games i will be back sometime later...

Good Luck
Phil

concerning first pick...

the more brave could take here Lokeren on asian... of course in stead of Moeskroen

Hi Belgo,
please tell something about Lommel. How the situation will be now?
Lommel was bankcrupt and was withdrawn to 3 or 5 division. (i heard)
Now, Lommel will continue in competition (like Mechelen) ?? or end their participation and move to lower league?

if yes, their points in the table will be annuled?


and how many teams will relegate?


Mechelen and still last two teams? (if Lommel doesnt participate
anymore?)

from 2e klasse will go directly 4 teams to eerste klasse?




thanks for answers and wish You nice day

Hi there

Situation is a bit complicated. Normally they will not play anymore this season (nearly all A-players are gone elsewhere and with youth team to play is impossible and ridiculous), so normally all matches still to be played will end in 5-0...

Concerning relegation the situation will be the same as last season: Mechelen (probably last) and Lommel (will get to 2nd last place normally) will be out and all the rest escapes, also GBA which needs only 3 more points to save itself...

Of course, the disappearance of Lommel has big consequences for the table: if they manage to pay urgent debts to the Belgian FA (about 8.000 euro) then all results from 1st round and beginning 2nd round will remain, if they can't pay this then all matches played this season of Lommel will be annulated. This has important consequences for 3 clubs: Anderlecht, Lierse and Lokeren (which lost against Lommel). In this scenario Lokeren would get three points more than Anderlecht and Lierse and that's why those clubs want themselves urgently this debts to be paid, perhaps even by themselves (of course not officially).

So you see, the situation is a bit confusing at the moment and will have consequences for the endtable of this season...


*Always save the best for last*

Im still not sure if I understand god about relagation.

So, Mechelen and Lommel will be on last two positions and directly relegate. But to which league? To second league or to lower leagues (3,4,5 division?) If yes, who will relegate from 1 div. to 2 div.?? The teams on 15 and 16 positions? Or they should play play off matches with secon league teams for standing in 1.division? Or no more team will relegate excl.Mechelen,Lommel?
You have wrote that GBA needs only 3 more points to save itself. ?? I dont understand? And what about Charleroi?
Sorry if I have stupid questions, but I have to know how it will be.
Thanks in advance
