Lokeren - St. Gilloise Prediction, Picks and Tips
Lokeren is starting to get on track and that can have serious consequences for the rest of the Proximus League teams. The quality has been around for a while, but if the form and the momentum are also present, then it is a dangerous team. In the meantime, Union Saint-Gilloise Leuven remains on its heels.
Lokeren is working on an excellent run. They no longer lost four games and won two of them. One was a very important and handsome victory, that of last match day on the field of Leuven, the current number one in the rankings. It was a blood-curdling competition with many chances on both sides, but in the end Lokeren took the lead. The Tricoleres played good football and convinced from minute one, or rather from minute seven. Anel Hajric was able to score in the seventh minute. The young striker van Lokeren dived well between the defense and the keeper and had to put him inside. Lokeren brought Leuven on an equal level after some bumbling from behind, but less than ten minutes later it was already 1-2 after a free kick that was nodded in by Fran Navarro. Again the Tricoleres made it easy for Leuven to score, but again Lokeren managed to get a shot at it, and what kind of one! Ryuta Koike kicks the ball in nicely from the edge of the sixteen. The keeper stood by and looked at it! Has Lokeren really been kicked off?
In my view, Union remains the most consistent team in the competition. They play one solid football from match day. They had already lost some top players at that time, but the playing days afterwards they kept losing quality. However, that has had no impact at all on the results and that is, to say the least, admirable. Union lost only one time and that was on the field of Beerschot. You can hardly call poor results, they are also in second place with Virton, with only one point less than OHL. Last day's match against Beerschot ended in 1-1, but it could easily have been 3-3, 3-4 or 5-4! It was a competition with a huge number of opportunities and it could have gone in all directions. Coach Thomas Christiansen was all in all satisfied after the game, but still hoped for those three points. "We have lost two important points here. It was a crazy game with lots of opportunities on both sides. It could have gone either way. But I am happy with the response from my team. They came back after a 0-1 deficit and they even had chances of winning in the end. "
