KV Mechelen - Anderlecht   Prediction, Picks and Taips  


 
 

Anderlecht opens the new season on the field of KV Mechelen. Will Mechelen be four out of six against the Purple & White this season? Or can the people of Brussels make a good start, unlike last season?
 




 
 



Malinwa was the revelation of last season, in which it unexpectedly ended in sixth place as a PhD candidate. With an almost unchanged core from 1B and despite the loss of personalities such as Seth De Witte and Tim Matthys, Wouter Vrancken managed to keep the fire in his group. In the first round, Mechelen managed to overpower its opponents with enthusiastic power football. In doing so, it benefited from great efficiency in the attacking compartment. After the winter break, the game didn't go smoothly, but the organization held its ground and with Issa Kabore (bought and rented out by Manchester City) as right back a young pearl surfaced again.



Logically, the skeleton of that team was retained, although they were surprised by not renewing Arjan Swinkels' expiring contract. As a replacement comes Rocky Bushiri: young, powerful, fast, strong header and solid in playing football. Certainly a reinforcement, unfortunately only for one year, because Norwich only wanted to rent out the Belgian promise international. Jordi Vanlerberghe, who was already active on a rental basis last season, was definitely hired. It can be of value in the back center as well as in the midfield. What's still missing is speed in the attacking compartment. Vrancken is waiting for Engvall, but the Swedish shadow striker was also unable to play carefree football in the preparation. Extra offensive power is needed.



On the flanks are Nikola Storm and Onur Kaya certitudes. In the striker, Vrancken can choose, depending on the opponent, between the sharp Togui or the stable De Camargo. In midfield, Joachim Van Damme is a certainty. In addition to him, it will be a fight for Aster Vranckx, Rob Schoofs (who will be vice captain), Geoffry Hairemans and Vanlerberghe.

Kortrijk's strong point is its footballing ability in midfield, with the central axis Van Der Bruggen-De Sart-Makarenko. In the front, there is still Mboyo Ilombe's experience on the left. On the right, Eric Ocansey must now confirm why KAS Eupen long thought he would be the next lucrative sale from the Aspire Academy after Henry Onyekuru. What will it be with KVK next season? As often, that will depend on the last minute transfers. A place in the top eight would already be a real success.


 
 
 
 
 
 

 
The unworthy classification of Purple & White in the discontinued competition, that page has been turned. The return of Vincent Kompany, the politics of working with young people, all this has made the supporters very tolerant. But now it has to happen. No more excuses. Sporting has managed to keep its finest gold nuggets. That is a great achievement in itself. Here and there one even extended his contract. That is excellent.



In the preparation period, the defense was really on solid legs, few goals were scored. Both before and after Kompany's injury. That is a huge difference from the summer and autumn of 2019. The fact that Kompany is not there at the start of the competition is made up for by the confirmation of the level of several young defenders: Elias Cobbaut, Derrick Luckassen, Killian Sardella , Michael Murillo. In the midfield there are three certainties and two mysteries. If everyone is fit, Frank Vercauteren's mind seems to be in no doubt about Peter Zulj, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Michael Vlap. The question marks are Adrien Trebel and Yari Verscharen.



Goals from carefully constructed actions hardly fell during the preparation. Peter Verbeke reassures the fans of Anderlecht: there will be a new center forward at Anderlecht. Although the search may take a while. "Everyone thinks we need an extra striker. I think that analysis is correct, "explains Peter Verbeke, sports director at Anderlecht. After all, the current Purple & White strikers remain in doubt: "Colassin's potential is great, but he's only turned nine and is still young, while Dimata is returning after months of rehabilitation."
