The Buffalos welcome the Zebras this evening, in the opening match of the 22nd day of the Jupiler Pro League.
Hard blow for La Gantoise, shortly before welcoming Charleroi in the opening match of the 22nd day, which could be a boost for the Carolos.
Indeed, Wouter Vrancken will not take part on the Buffalos bench, the latter is ill and will be replaced by his assistant Danijel Milićević. This is probably the most important change of the evening.
“Unfortunately, Wouter Vrancken is struck by illness, which will prevent him from taking his place on the bench this evening. We wish him a speedy recovery. Danijel Milićević will take over this evening”, we can read in the official press release of the club.
-Obligatory victory
The day before at a press conference, the Limburger had stated categorically that victory was “obligatory” against Sporting because “All matches are now up for grabs in the final stretch towards the play-offs.”
Opposite, his counterpart Rik De Mil had spoken of his opponent as “a high-level club with a lot of talent.”
“They have players who can make the difference in a single action. That’s why they are in the top six. It will be a challenge for us. We will play without our two wingers, but it also means an opportunity for other players and I have seen in recent weeks that the others are ready,” mentioned the Charleroi coach.
