The Champions’ Play-Offs have become unprecedentedly exciting after last weekend. Anderlecht and Club Brugge are jointly in the lead, Union is just behind by one point. But who stands out?
Ex-national coach René Vandereycken examined the performances of the three top teams last weekend at The newspapaer. Union fell behind after 17 minutes against Antwerp, but eventually won 4-1. “Vincent Janssen handled the gift from Union well, but Antwerp was much too weak offensively. I can’t say much more about Antwerp.”
Phenomenal
Vandereycken is lyrical about what Union, which scored 0 out of 12 in the first games of the final round, showed. “I think it is a fantastic team, offensively and defensively, with Puertas who stands out. Even after that 0 out of 12, Union remained a title candidate for me. The details were against them. It is wonderful that we are having such an exciting title battle again. “
“It remains to be seen who will ultimately make it. I find Union to be a little more attractive than Club Brugge, which has a broader selection. In terms of football, Anderlecht is currently the least of the three teams for me,” said Vandereycken.
This weekend there are again very important competitions on the program. Cercle Brugge receives a visit from KRC Genk, Antwerp takes on Club Brugge at home and Union looks into the eyes of city rivals Anderlecht. The Brussels derby in particular could be decisive for the title battle.
