Franken sees opportunities: “The federation title is the favourite? Yes, but…”

Leader Union SG begins their title hunt in the Champions Qualifiers on Monday night. Brussels residents will then visit KRC Genk. The Limburgers, in turn, want to make a fresh start after a disappointing season.

The race has remained well below expectations in recent months. It was immediately clear that the European expedition was a sham. In the Kroki Cup, Genk were defeated by second division team KV Ostend. The vice champion also made many mistakes in the competition.

But in the end, Limberger's team was able to qualify for the most important playoff match. They still want to add a little color to their disappointing season. A favorable European ticket is the minimum target.

Efficiency is crucial

It is therefore important to get off to a good start right away, especially given the backlog. But this will not be easy for the Union. After all, the people of Brussels have to win after their previous victory over chasing Anderlecht.

However, Genk coach Wouter Franken confirmed that his team performed really well against the leaders this season. The club's website said, “We played two good matches against them in the tournament. We won there. We also played well at home and did little. Efficiency was the deciding factor.”

Intense matches

In any case, Al-Ittihad started the qualifiers from first place. Therefore, Vrancken calls them favorite titles, but for purely mathematical reasons. “The federation is consistent, stable and very effective. Are they favorites to win the title? Yes, but simply because they have the most points. Favorite or underdog, those are just concepts that are fun to write about. I think these matches will still be very intense.” .” Become.”
