Most interesting picks

Genk-St. Truiden 1

Genk took 9/9 in last 3 games and suddenly has still hopes (through Fair Play Cup) of getting into Europe after all. St. Truiden has still a minor chance to get third, but i think they don't believe in this anymore and want to fully concentrate on Cup Final in a few weeks. St. Truiden plays in its best team, Genk misses Thys (injured) and Skoko (suspended). Genk will be fully motivated: local derby, full house plus a number of talent scouts (for example from Bayern Munchen) for players like Sonck...

Anderlecht-La Louviere 1

Superlow odds, only interesting in case it's taken in asian handicap or in a combo with other games. Anderlecht took 27/27 in last 9 games and want to finish the season in great style in front of its own fans. I expect a big score...

Club Brugge-GBA 1

Same as for Anderlecht game. Brugge still chasing some records (one of them trying to break Anderlechts record of scoring 100 times in one season). Brugge scored 95 and faces an outwards weak GBA which has a number of injuries and probably no motivation at all anymore. Again asian or in combo.

Lierse-Lokeren (no bet)

Two teams in crisis, Lokeren 1/12 and Lierse even 1/18. The hometeam is probably more motivated since there was some interview in which Lokeren player Gretarson declared Lierse did not deserve Europe next season because of being a concerning talent too limited team. Lokeren - for 95 percent sure of European soccer next year - misses captain Gretarson and Kimoto.

Other games are end of season games and probably not interesting to waste one's money on...

Good luck
