Lokeren and Hull ready for a tactical war

  • Published:

The winners of the Belgian and European Cups are stronger on defense than offense, and this could be a tough and even match, trench warfare of sorts

The clash of Lokeren and Hull is a duel of Cup winners of Belgium and England, of two clubs that were very eager to prove themselves on the European stage. This is the first time Lokeren are playing in the European league this year, but they already played four championship matches and won more than seven points.

The summer reinforcements such as forwards Abdurahimi from Zagreb and Leye from Waregem, as well as defender Henrique of Plovdiv and midfielder Ngolok of Leuven brought new quality to coach Peter Maes' roster, which meant the departures of midfielder Mitu and forwards Harbaoui and Despotovićwere not felt so far, although Lokeren's game is much more defense oriented.

Just two conceded goals in four matches are further proof of that, and as Hull are a similar team with limited individual quality of its midfielders, a tough and close game will come as no surprise.

- I doubt elegance of gameplay will be the primary concern here, the result will be most important, and both teams will approach the match accordingly- thinks Lokeren coach Peter Maes, who has four injured players, luckily not too important ones, while the recovery of point forward Dutra Sergio Junior is much more important, as he will be at the tip of the offense in their 4-3-3 setup tomorrow.

- We have great respect for Hull, but we also believe in our ability to find a way to their net. Naturally, we need to be cautious on defense as well, but we are at home and must look for a lead prior to the away game- concluded the home team coach.

Hull started in the 3rd preliminary round and struggled against Slovakian Terenčin. After a 0-0 draw in the first bout, they managed to make a comeback from 0-1 at home and won 2-1 to advance. They started the championship very well, as they  beat OPR in an away game by a header from center back Chester, while goalie McGregor saved a penalty for the team from London.

This is the first time Hull are playing in a European cup and they are highly motivated to eliminate Lokeren. The bad news from their last match is the serious injury sustained by their wing midfielder Snodgrass, who will be off for a while, with center back Bruce off the team as well today.

- We're facing a very difficult match as Belgian football is on the rise and Lokeren have a number of very good players. We'll have to be highly focused and make very few mistakes- said Hull strategist Steve Bruce, who announced a reshuffling in the lineup and a 4-4-2 formation.

-We have to show our trademark team spirit, help each other on court and I think we can remain undefeated, which is our main goal- said Steve Bruce.
