Another important matchday is scheduled for the Champions’ Play-Offs. For example, we are looking forward to the Brussels clash between Union SG and RSC Anderlecht. That derby could well be decisive for the title battle.
In recent months, Union was logically put forward as the biggest title favorite. But the winner of the regular competition dropped completely into the POs after a dramatic 0 out of 12. However, the Unionists have now recovered. After the 6 on 6 against Antwerp, they are fully participating again.
Union’s poor start allowed Anderlecht to take over the lead. The Purple & White were able to present a perfect report in the home games so far. Outdoors, however, the record champion did not get further than a paltry 1 out of 9. And one competitor managed to take full advantage of this.
Danger from Bruges
Club Brugge is suddenly back again. With 16 out of 18, Blauw-Zwart whirled through the Play-Offs. Since Nicky Hayen took over as interim coach, the Bruges machine has been running smoothly again, the confidence and form curve of most players is currently at the peak of this season.
Club now has the same number of points as Anderlecht. Due to the better final ranking in the regular competition, RSCA retains the advantage. And Union is now breathing down the duo’s neck again. The winner of the regular competition has one point less, but always has an advantage with an equal number of points.
Defining moments
In principle it can go in any direction. Bee The last news Brian Riemer and Alexander Blessin were already asked about their favorite. “For me it is very simple. There are three contenders for the title. I don’t know who it will be, but it will be a few magical moments that will decide the championship,” says the Anderlecht coach.
His colleague at Union mainly points towards West Flanders. “If you look at the last five play-off matches, Club Brugge has won them all. We will now see whether the defeat against Fiorentina will affect them. But: it is an open battle. I don’t like those ‘mathematics’,” said Blessin.
