The Flandrian team was, what’s more, weak at the time. “It is obvious that with the American Anderson and Ella Declercq in addition, we are expecting a tough match, continues the Brainois mentor. Especially since it’s in a small room and we’re not used to playing on the side.”
Beaten by Mechelen last weekend in the championship, Braine needs to reassure himself. “Yes, beyond the challenge, I hope that my players will have a reaction to the air gap that we had in the third quarter on the Mechelen floor. I want them to deliver a serious match It is also an important match in the objective of remaining engaged in the three competitions.
A match this Thursday, then another Saturday at home against Gentson in the championship this time. Note that Serbian leader Mandic will not yet be lined up in the Brainois ranks. She suffers from a serious contracture in her hamstrings.
The other quarter-finals of the Belgian Cup will pit Phantoms Boom against Lummen (18/12), Willebroeck against Kortrijk (18/12) and Mechelen against the winner of the other duel this Thursday evening, the R1 of Pont-de- Wolf against Namur.
