Match Overview: Week 6
With a series of interesting matches in prospect, European football fanaticism is back on track. This weekend promises to be a spectacular show from some of the most important teams in the national competitions. From the clash between the German top teams to the strategic duels between top Spanish clubs to the Italian Serie A and the English Premier League. Something for everyone, and let’s not forget our own Belgian Jupiler Pro League. Read here which matches you should definitely not miss during the coming weekend.
Friday February 9
In the evening, KV Kortrijk visits Sint-Truiden in Limburg. Kortrijk is now at the bottom of the Jupiler Pro League, but has gone four games without losing. For example, it drew against Club Brugge and won against Standard. With a win and three points, they cannot move up too many places, but they are off last place for a while. STVV has achieved mixed results lately, with a win against Ghent but a loss against Cercle Brugge, and remained stuck in the middle of the table in 9th place. With three points it jumps over KV Mechelen. This is indeed an important match, which will help determine who will no longer play in the Jupiler Pro League next year.
Saturday February 10
First, Standard Liège receives the Oud-Heverlee Leuven team. The two are just behind each other in the JPL, in places 11 and 12 respectively, with only 1 point difference. Standard has not been playing very good matches lately, with alternating losses and draws. OHL only lost in the Cup against Antwerp, but played as well or better than their opponent in their other matches this calendar year. This match also determines who will play in the Belgian first division next year.
Then we get a top match between the two leaders in the German Bundesliga. Bayern Munich comes to visit on the Bayer Leverkusen field. Both teams have already won 16 of their 20 games played, but Bayer Leverkusen drew four times, and Bayern Munich only drew twice. That is why Leverkusen is two points higher than their colleagues. But that also means that the winner of this duel also becomes the leader. There are still some matchdays to go, but it is certain that the players from Leverkusen do not want to see the Rekordmeister lift the cup again.
The two leaders also face each other in the Spanish competition. Girona takes their chance in the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, at the Royal from Madrid. Real won just one more match than their opponent, leaving Girona trailing them by two points. Here too, the winner will take the lead. Real drew against their city rivals last week, so they now hope to do better against the leader. Girona also drew last week, against Real Sociedad.
Sunday February 11
The match between RWDM and Antwerp is scheduled for just after noon. The Sinjoren come to visit in the heart of Molenbeek in Brussels. The title holder is now in fourth place in the JPL, but can push itself into third place if it wins. And Antwerp now also has to make do without their golden boy Arthur Vermeeren, who is at Atlético Madrid. RWDM must mainly concentrate on getting out of the danger zone. The people of Brussels are barely in 14th place.
A little later, Arsenal are in West Ham’s stadium. This crucial match in the English Premier League could cause quite a stir. Arsenal could claim the lead by winning here, as the Gunners are only two points behind Liverpool. West Ham, on the other hand, still has to collect a lot of points, because it is in 7th place.
To end the weekend, Napoli can still try to pick up points at AC Milan. Milan are now in 3rd place, a whopping 10 points ahead of Atalanta, who are in 4th place. Napoli can play their way into the top 5 if they win. Both teams have already proven that they belong to the absolute top of Italian and even European football, but it will remain to be seen who will have the upper hand in this match.
