The Jupiler Pro League will soon have its denouement. For the time being, Royal Antwerp FC seems to have the best cards.
Royal Antwerp FC is in the lead in the Jupiler Pro League. On Sunday, it can take a very important step towards the title with a win against Club Brugge.
Analyst Franky Van Der Elst sees that the troops of trainer Mark van Bommel are doing well. “It is logical that Antwerp is put forward. Cup taken, nine out of nine, carried by the public…”, he tells Het Nieuwsblad.
But that could turn around. He refers to a statement by a former coach of Club Brugge and Antwerp. “But George Kessler used to say: We only have one thing against, and that is that we have everything.”
According to the analyst, the competition has not yet been played at all. After all, there are still half of the matches on the program. And Van Der Elst also saw a striking statistic that the fans will not like to hear.
“On Twitter I saw that only five teams have started the title play-offs with nine out of nine. All five did not become champions”, concludes Van Der Elst.
