A crucial match for the hosts. If they want to play in Europe next year they MUST win this one. A lot happened this week. Trainer Ceulemans who was GOD in Brugge is fired! With this assistant R?©ne Verheyen. Fans are very angry, because sportive manager Degryse fired a GOD and how! 5 games before the end of the season. Whole Belgium can't understand this decicion. Ok, now Brugge has a new coach: Emilio Ferrera! Lol, this 38 year old trainer never coached a topclub, only some relegationclubs. I think Brugge took Ferrera as trainer only because he speaks Spanish, and Brugge has Portillo (ex-Real madrid who speaks only spanish). Anyway, Ferrera style of playing is different from Ceulemans style. Ceulemans was like father for players, very polite, very calm. Ferrera is a strong man. He likes discipline, and tactic is his power. Back to the game: Zulte-Waregem probably already thinks about next week thuesday when they play a VERY important Cup game against Standard. Zulte-Waregem is current 5th , but I don't know if they has any target (exept the cup).

Last week, Zulte-Waregem lost once more points at home. They played 2-2 against Beveren who is in huge relegation danger. Zulte-Waregem played slow, tired, without inspiration, Beveren scored twice and 10 minutes before the end, Zulte-Waregem also scored twice, and 2-2 was the FT.

Club Brugge lost in Gent with 4-1. We are humulitated said sportive manager Degryse. It was painfull as Club Brugge fan to see how Club Brugge played last saturday. Very slow, no good passes, no inspiration, NOTHING. It was also a strange choise of (ex) trainer Ceulemans to put Ishiaku, Englebert, Gvozdenovic and Vandelanoitte in the team. He made 5 substitutions before the game, and al this players has no technic. How can such team win against in form Gent?! Fans quited the stadion before the end of the game.

In fact, I expekt a home win here. I don't know what the odds are, but Brugge MUST win, and to be honest, they have good players: Portillo, Verheyen, Leko.. Zulte-Waregem looks very tired for long time, I'm sure they want the end of the competition to go to holidays. And all their minds are on the game against Standard next thuesday. The stadion is really sold-out, I'm afraid of the reactions of the fans: they will probably sing about Ceulemans, a Brugge monument. Hopefully Ferrera will get support from the fans, he really needs it. 500 Brugge fans went to today's training, and they supported Ferrera: most of the fans said that he is like Sollied, ex-Brugge trainer: smart with discipline and tactic!

Brugge: Vanaudenaarde is injured and suspended. That's not a loss for Brugge as he plays bad. Butina is long term injured. Valgaeren and Lange are out till the end of the season.

Zulte-Waregem: Thibaut is sick and won't play against Brugge. Minne and Leleu are doubtfull, but will probably play.
