Game Prediction
Belgium has complex regulations for the top division of the country and, accordingly, a tight schedule. However, they will play even on Thursday this week, and there will be a confrontation between the leaders of the Jupiler Pro League, Royal Union and Anderlecht, in the national cup. The editorial board of the website has published a prediction for this match on January 25, 2024.
Royal Union is playing well under the leadership of its current coach
“Les Unionistes” is the historical giant of Belgian football. Still, everyone had already forgotten about this, because the last time the title was won happened in 1935, and the team did not compete in the elite division for a long time. It was possible to return only in 2021 – and experienced Brugge “pushed” an unexpected opponent into 2nd place only in the additional round. As for 2022/2023, there was a set of bronze medals and the team reached the Europa League play-offs. All this was achieved under the leadership of Geraerts, and the fact that he left without agreeing on a contract extension was perceived as a threat. However, Blessin, the current mentor, led his players to sole 1st place. It is reasonable to mention that there was 3rd place in the Europa League and relegation to the Conference League. It was not easy with Saint-Truiden, which opened the score in the previous round. Still, the leader of the draw, having scored in added minutes to both halves, eventually achieved another victory.
Anderlecht is finally looking good again
“The Purple and Whites” are a national record holder with 34 league titles and a host of other successes, including victories in the Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup. Still, the last set of gold medals was taken back in 2017, and the grandee finished the previous season in 11th place. Only now Brian Riemer’s wards look decent. Union goes higher, and this is certainly a breakthrough. There is even a chance to return to 1st place. At the same time, there was a misfire in the previous round: having quickly conceded, the team limited itself to a draw on the field of Leuven.
