Royal Union – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“Les Unionistes” repeated the unpleasant scenario of 2021/2022, which was the first year after the long-awaited return to the Jupiler League, in the previous season. Again, the team missed out on 1st place at the finish line. On the other hand, the club won the cup trophy this time.
In July, the team, being already under the leadership of Pocognoli, took revenge on Brugge, winning the match for the Super Cup on the native field. The new championship began with a duel against the newcomer, Dender. And unexpectedly, it was limited to only a goalless draw, without opening the opponent’s defence.
Beerschot – the shape of the team and its analysis:
Having been restarted, “the Purple and White Army” managed to be promoted to the Jupiler League, spend a couple of years there, and fly back. Only the second attempt, which happened last season, brought the opportunity to return, winning the Challenger Pro League.
Speaking about the old-new level, the team started against Leuven. It didn’t concede, but didn’t score either.
