Waregem – Mouscron PREDICTION & PREVIEW (24.01.2017)

Both will mark: No

Match for day 23 of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League where they will play the Waregem and the Mouscron.

First of all explain the system of this particular league;

The Jupiler Pro League is a league formed by 16 teams and is divided into 3 parts.

1. At the end of the regular season the teams that occupy the positions from the 1st to the 6th classified will play a playoff to determine the champion of the league and know which team will play UCL.
2.- Those remaining from the 7th to the 15th position will play another playoff to determine which team will play Europa League
3.- The 16th and bottom of the league descends to the Proximus League.

On the local side;

– The Waregem are having a good season and leading the way until 1 month ago, where the draw against Oostende deprived them of continuing to the front of the table and after the draw of 2 weeks ago against Mechelen they went down to the current 3rd position . In their locker have a total of 43 points out of 66 possible, these points have obtained after 12 victories, 7 ties and 3 defeats where they have scored 35 goals in favor and 22 against, being the 3rd team less thrashing. They are within 3 points of the leader, the Club Bruges and have a margin of 9 points over Charleroi, 7th place.

– They reach this meeting with 2 wins and 3 draws in their last 5 league games and do not lose since 27 November against St. Liège (4-1).

– In the Regenboogstadion they are doing well. In their 11 games played in front of their people have won 6 wins and 5 draws with 15 goals in favor and 6 against. Only the Waregem and the Club Bruges have not lost when they play as a local.

– In their last 4 games played in the Regenboogstadion they have not conceded a goal.

Waregem 1-0 Eupen
Waregem 0-0 KV Mechelen
Waregem 1-0 Genk
Waregem 2-0 St. Truden

On the visitor side;

– The Mouscron is the colista of the league with only 15 points. His current balance is 4 wins, 3 draws and 15 losses with 20 goals in favor and 44 against, being the 2nd team less scorer and the 2nd most thrashed. They are 3 points behind Westerlo, ranked 15th and would not descend to the Proximus League.

– They reach this match with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in their last 5 league games.

– Far from the affection of their fans their numbers are so bad that playing at home. In their 11 trips they have only obtained 7 points out of 33 possible. They have won 2 games, tied 1 and lost the remaining 8 with 11 goals in favor and 22 against.

– They have 2 goals in favor in their last 9 trips.

Würzburger Kickers 3-0 Mouscron (Friendly)
Club Brujas 2-1 Mouscron
Charleroi 2-0 Mouscron
St. Truiden 1-0 Mouscron
Kortrijk 1-0 Mouscron
Anderlecht 7-0 Mouscron
St. Liège 2-1 Mouscron
Waasland-Beveren 0-0 Mouscron
KV Mechelen 2-0 Mouscron

After seeing the strong defense of the Waregem and the lack of goal by the Mouscron I choose the AENM because any handicap can be dangerous as they have not had very clear defeats, except against the Anderlecht.

Good luck.
