Pro League matchday 23: tough matchups to come for KVM and Cercle!

On JPL matchday 23, played from 24 till 26 January, we’ll be treated to plenty of exhilarating encounters. KV Mechelen and Cercle Brugge travel to meet strong opponents, so our sponsored teams will have to bring their best game! Can you predict the outcome of this upcoming matchday’s games? Our preview might help you make the right choices.

STVV vs Antwerp

24/01 8.45 p.m.

Most likely to win: Antwerp

After slipping to the relegation zone, STVV hasn’t been able to show upwards mobility. Antwerp has solidly parked itself in the top 6. Logic dictates an away win for the Great Old.

Westerlo vs KRC Genk

25/01 4 p.m.

Most likely to win: KRC Genk

Westerlo suffered a narrow loss last weekend, while KRC Genk is still going strong in its commanding charge for the title. Here, too, it’s safe to predict a victory for the visitors.

Charleroi vs Cercle Brugge

25/01 6.15 p.m.

Most likely to win: Charleroi

Important matchup in the belly of the rankings! Charleroi has 28 points, Cercle 27: the winner takes it all here! Unfortunately for Cercle, Charleroi is expected to keep the 3 points at home.

Club Brugge vs KV Kortrijk

25/01 8.45 p.m.

Most likely to win: Club Brugge

Club Brugge has a comfortable hold on spot 2 in the ranking, and as such has a realistic chance of winning another title. KV Kortrijk is second to last: a Club Brugge win shouldn’t be a surprise.

Standard vs Dender

26/01 1.30 p.m.

Most likely to win: Standard

Standard has clawed back from the lower regions of the JPL, and is ready for a top 6 spot. A victory against Dender is just what the team from Liège needs. Standard for the win!

Beerschot vs Union

26/01 4 p.m.

Most likely to win: Union

There’s no end in sight for Beerschot’s painful campaign. Against third-placed Union, there’s next to no chance that it can for something. Easy win for Union.

Anderlecht vs KV Mechelen

26/01 6.30 p.m.

Most likely to win: Anderlecht

Anderlecht has enjoyed a few exciting weeks with great football lately, and there’s no sign it’ll stop now. KV Mechelen will do all it can, but an Anderlecht victory is most probable here.

OH Leuven vs KAA Gent

26/01 7.15 p.m.

Most likely to win: OH Leuven

OH Leuven is in a weird spot: both the relegation zone and connection to the top 6 chasers are possible, depending on the result. Against a shambling KAA Gent, a victory is a must.
