Prediction: 2-1
Gent
There will be fireworks when Club Brugge and Gent face each other in the Belgian Cup semis, return leg at Jan Breydel Stadion. Club Brugge aim to defender their slim lead (1-0) in the second leg, and they are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the decider. Considering that the Blauw-Zwart are on a three-game winning run in the Jupiler League, home win should be considered.
Dutch tactician Alfred Schreuder should have a full squad to choose from except for suspended defender Jack Hendry. Gent, on the other hand, have other choice but to go all guns blazing at Club Brugge, meaning that the hosts will have a number opportunities to seal the triumph on the break. It has to be noted that both De Sart and Samoise are back from suspension, speaking of the visiting side, while Bruno and Malede remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Simon Mignolet):
Simon Luc Hildebert Mignolet is a Belgium goalkeeper born on 6 March 1988 in Sint-Truiden. He began his career in a club from his hometown, making 100 league appearances for Sint-Truidense before moving to Sunderland in 2010.
Mignolet would go on to spent next four years at the Stadium of Light, making 90 Premier League appearances. As one of world’s most talented goalkeepers, the Belgium international signed for Liverpool in the summer of 2013, and he has since been the club’s first choice goalkeeper. Performing admirably most of the time, but also committing cheap mistakes at times, Mignolet has yet to win over the Liverpool fans, but remains highly regarded in his native country.
The talented shot-stopper has been a member of the Belgium national team since 2011, earning over 20 caps for the Red Devils, but he has been playing second fiddle to Chelsea star Thibaut Courtois over the last few years.
Highlighted Team (Gent):
Gent are a Belgian football club that plays their home games at Ghelamco Arena. The venue has been the club’s home ground since 2013 and the capacity of the stadium is 20 000. De Buffalo’s participate in the Belgian Pro League and they clinched their first domestic trophy in the 2014/2015 season.
Gent finished the regular part of the season in second place in the standings, but they eventually climbed to the top position in the table in the play-off. The club won their third Belgian Cup trophy in 2010 and it has to be noted that they defeated Club Brugge in the Belgian Super Cup in 2015. Laurent Depoitre scored the winner for Gent three minutes before the final whistle.
A number of top-class players were part of the team in the past and the likes of Victor Fernandez, Johan Boskamp, Bob Peeters, Trond Sollied and Michel Preud’homme are some of notable footballers who played for Gent in the past.
