Spirou have not been consistent this season, and they are again going through a bad period that culminated on Saturday with a home defeat to second-to-last Leuven. After that game they agreed with coach Bastianini to mutually terminate his contract, and his assistant, Pascal Angillis, is now their head coach. We can expect a reaction from them today, they are on a five game losing run, they dropped to 7th position, Mons is threatening them, and the 8th placed team will face Oostende in the play-off. They had a bad period at the start of the season as well, when they managed to defeat the best team in Belgium, that is Oostende. Their clashes are always special, it's Belgian Classico, the biggest derby, or as they like to call it, a clash of two Belgiums. Forma often does not play a role here. Spirou won their first head-to-head this season 74-69, lost at Ostende 58-86, so they were under 150 in both games.
There are only a few teams in the Belgian championship who can compare to Oostende defensively, Mons and partially Brussels. Spirou played games at 134 and 141 points against Mons this season, against Brussels at 154 at home, at the start of the season 174 away, and 129 recently. Oostende fared against Mons in the championship as follows: 145, 130 and 148. Oostende are at an average of 147.6 away, 8-3 in favor of the under at today's margin, no one has such a good defense in the championship. They recently played at 135 at Limburg, at 143 against Antwerp, 153 at Okapi, at 150 at Brussels. Spirou are at an average of 158 at home, 6-6 in over and under on today's margin, but they were under against stronger teams at home, I don't expect them neat their average at home games in this game.
