Anderlecht won well on the first day of play and will also want to spoil the fans at their first home game. Whether the visitors from Ostend will agree with this is highly doubtful. Can Ostend get something in the Astridpark?
Golden duo:
Anderlecht started the new season with a lot of ambitions and added to this strength with a big win on the first day of play. Not only did the newcomers note, the choice to choose for the talented youth was also visible. The talents in the base left a strong impression and seem ready to make it very difficult for the competitors. For the time being, everything is free and free in the capital. Wondering if they can continue this in the coming months.
Ivan Santini debuted with a hat-trick, the other new striker Landry Dimata also hit the spot. They weighed on the defense and that is quite a punishment for strikers who are just playing together. Their interplay could be even better – more combinations between the two – but their presence in the box was enormous. Santini as a target man, Dimata as a roaming striker. So Anderlecht went to a heavy 0-4 very quickly. The goal was not more than for the statistics.
Anderlecht therefore resolutely opt for talents this year. The acquisitions are young, and in Kortrijk own youth players Sebastiaan Bornauw and Alexis Saelemaekers recalled Vincent Kompany and Anthony Vanden Borre. Although confirmation is required. ‘Whatever happens this season: Anderlecht will continue to opt for young players. They are eager and even in more difficult moments it does not make sense to start doubting ‘, says coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck.
Two faces:
Ostend had the same games to start as last season, but this time it certainly wanted to win its opening game with a points buffer to make the move to Anderlecht. An important three point in the club debut of Gert Verheyen, even though there is still a lot of work to be done. By the sea people are horrified at the thought of such a gray and difficult season as last year. But then it will really have to be a lot better.
Initially, Saturday did nothing really work against Mouscron. Aristote Nkaka, all the preparation a shadow of himself, fooled, Zarko Tomasevic clenched, because the 0-1 was a gift with a gigantic bow around the Montenegrin. grasped with a double change. He let his group feel that it had to be completely different. It worked wonderfully. After just ten seconds, Brecht Capon scored, Fernando Canesin took care of ten visitors fifteen minutes before time. Mouscron even ended with nine.
‘We lack a certain kind of enthusiasm. I want to release something in the group, ‘the coach emphasized again. “Football is about emotion. You have to be emotional to be able to give something. I was again very unpleasantly surprised. But when it really matters, it hurts even more. We are not happy enough, we are too little disappointed. We are always the same. And that is not possible in football. ‘
PREDICTION: Anderlecht to win @ 1.46
