?©h?©, a big East-Flamish derby. It's a kind of war between the fans of Lokeren and Gent, especially now Gent is flying high. Whole Gent knows that it will be difficult saturday at Lokeren, but Gent will go for the victory. Gent president De Witte said: now we are so near the 3rd place, and we want to take him and play in the UEFA-cup next year. Gent has a very difficult schedule, but they will give themselves for sure. Lokeren played great before the new year, after that, with so many injured players, Lokeren became a weak team, and now they are OK.
Lokeren played against Anderlecht, and they got a point! I can say only BRAVO to Lokeren. Ok, they defended whole game, got 2 chances, and Anderlecht scored in fact an own goal. Anderlecht pressed, but failed to score. Lokeren is very happy with this point!
Gent got 3 points against Brugge. Stadion was sold-out, GREAT atmosphere in the game, and I saw a great Gent with Boussoufa as a little prince of Gent. He scored 3 times against Brugge, and he played really SUPERB whole game. He has very good technic, and many clubs want to buy him. Brugge was weak, and Gent knew that. With De Beule and Gr?©goire and Boussoufa Gent had 3 technical players. Brugge defence hadn't an answer for that. After the match, great party in Gent, finaly we won against Brugge!
This game is comeback in Lokeren for De Beule who is coming back to his old team. He never played good against Lokeren (as player of Gent). Maybe he is afraid of the fans, because he quited the team because he was obligated to sign a new contract in Lokeren. Now he plays in Gent and each day he becomes a better player. Lokeren will play for the honour here, Gent will play for the points. I hope Boussoufa will have once again great day, and with him Gent is able to win once again. Still, it's a difficult game to bet. Away win seems to have value also because Lokeren striker Banc?© who is really in TOP-form got his 3rd yellow in Anderlecht and will miss the game. For this fact, Lokeren hasn't really good strikers now, Maybe Boucouari but he is not a real striker.
Lokeren: Banc?© is suspended. Van Hoey is doubtfull for the game. Drulic (no news about him??) and Van Handenhoven are the long-term injured players. .
Gent: Zoko is doubtfull, Vrancken is also doubtfull..
Edit: You know, before new year, Lokeren won with 1-2 in Gent, Now I expekt the same result in favour of Gent. Suddenly I realised that Gent must win here, they have much better squad, and with our "little" prince Boussoufa everything is possble! If we judge the chances by the odds, we see that the home team is favourite. Well, thank you bookies for the 2.85 that you give me on away win (6/10). Ok, Gent won't win maybe, but they won't lose it either, so X2 is a good option imo
