Coach Francky Dury stated that when the pressure of last positions will be off then we will see a different team and better results from them. Anyway, Zulte Waregem won fairly against one of the best teams of the league, and this result can be very good for their confidence and their morale. Zulte is interested for the cup, to the previous round they won over second division team of Antwerp 0:4. No players will be rested, good news that key defensive midfielder Mamoutou N’Diaye is back after suspension, while only sub defender Steve Colpaert (2 games) will miss the game.
Lierse showed some signs of life in the home game against Lokeren (1-1) in a game where with a little bit more luck they could win as they had two shots to the bar. Their coach Slavisa Stojanovic stated that he is very pleased with their performance and that they created many chances to score. To the previous round of the Belgian Cup they won at home easily 4:0 against St. Truiden.
But tonight Lierse have to face a huge number of problems. Coach Stojanovic left out of the squad many players to be rested, while there is many other players with injury problems. Main keeper Boban Bajkovic (8 games), defender Arjan Swinkels (8 games), striker Dorge Kouemaha (2 games, 1 goal), main striker Alhassane Keita (14 games, 5 goals), key attacking midfielder Hernan Losada (15 games, 1 goal) and also key attacking midfielder Zizo (16 games, 1 goal) are all out of the squad, while main right winger Ayub Timbe Masika (12 games, 1 goal), defender Eric Matoukou (5 games, 1 goal) and defender Ludovic Buysens (4 games) are all out with injuries.
Zulte was troubled till now but tonight its a different story, especially when they are coming from a great result, and that they are facing a decimated team due to absences. Nothing else to add, i think that Zulte will win easy tonight.
Bet: Zulte -1 Asian Handicap @1.80
