Club Bruges will host Royal Antwerp in a pivotal Matchday No 17 game on Sunday afternoon at Jan Breydelstadion.
The hosts will be desperate to bounce back from a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Gent but it will be easier said than done against the second-placed Royal Antwerp.
Club Bruges shockingly dominated their UEFA Champions League group but the domestic campaign has paid the price for such an impressive run in the continental competition.
The team led by Carl Hoefkens are only fourth in the First Division A standings at the moment, sitting eleven points shy of leaders Genk.
A win here could, however, move Club Bruges to the second position in the league table since they are currently only two points below Sunday’s counterparts.
Royal Antwerp won’t go into this in the highest spirits either, though. The visitors have been struggling to create in the final third in the recent matches and they will go into this off the back of claiming just one point in the previous three league rounds.
To make things worse for Royal Antwerp, they have lost three league outings on the spin on the road, scoring just once in the process.
Club Bruges vs Royal Antwerp Prediction
This is a very important match for Club Bruges and we doubt they will drop the ball, especially knowing that Royal Antwerp have lost three games on the bounce away from home.
We expect a strong display from the hosts and we see huge value in backing them to win both halves at the 5.50 odds. You can also back Club Bruges to win to nil at the 3.40 odds knowing the visitors have scored just once in the last three away games.
