Next week is the day when the second half of the Jupiler Pro League season begins. And it promises to be a very interesting few months in the Belgian fields. The title fight could also be very exciting.
Union SG is already heading into the second half of the season as the proud league leaders. The Brussels team is once again working on an excellent season and after 20 match days they have 6 points more than their first rival and ten points ahead of third place. Even with the points halved at the start of the POs, which will again be completed with six teams this season, that is a nice deficit.
But in recent seasons it has been shown several times that such a distance is not always enough to effectively play champions. In addition, Union once again faces a very busy program on three different fronts in the coming weeks and months. And the competition this season should definitely not be underestimated.
Already known PO I participants?
First pursuers Anderlecht have fully recovered after their impressive summer mercato and finally appear to be fighting for the national title again. Club Brugge is on the rise again after a bumpy start to the season. In addition, Antwerp already proved last season that they are a very tough customer. KRC Genk has a lot of individual talent and AA Gent has also made a good impression in recent months.
According to former striker Jonathan Legear, these six teams will rule the roost in PO I. “Union, Anderlecht, Gent and Club Brugge will definitely be there. And I think that Genk and Antwerp will also qualify at some point. I don’t see any other teams sneaking in, although they have to be wary of Cercle Brugge,” he said SudPress.
Title fight in Brussels
And Legear even dares to look a little further ahead. He ultimately expects a game in Brussels for the national title. “It will be played between Union and Anderlecht. But if I bet money, it’s on the current leader. Union deserves it at all levels. Anderlecht understood that they need experience as well as youth, but I don’t see that.” “They will still be champions. And look out for Brugge, who with their experience can still be part of the title race,” concludes Legear.
