Antwerp vs Club Brugge Prediction: A win is certain for the Brugge side

Antwerp will host Club Brugge at Bosuilstadion in Antwerp. Let’s preview this game and make a prediction.

Antwerp are coming off a defeat at the hands of Union Saint-Gilloise. With that defeat, Antwerp have failed five different times in their last six league games. The only game they secured a win in recent games was against Cercle Brugge in a 0-1 encounter, with Chidera Ejuke's goal being the difference. However, other encounters saw Antwerp lose to Anderlecht, Genk, Club Brugge and Union Saint Gilloise. The hosts are positioned in the bottom spot of the championship group with 29 points after the first six games.

Club Brugge kept their perfect record intact the previous week against Genk, securing a 0-3 big win on the road. In that game, goals from Kyriani Sabbe, Hugo Vetlesen, and Igor Thiago were needed to take all three points. With that win, Club Brugge have now gone on to win seven straight games. In those matches, Club Brugge scored 18 goals while conceding just two. In the standings, Club Brugge have gone to the top of the standings with 42 accumulated points, the same as second-placed Anderlecht.

In their last five meetings, Antwerp won two, while Club Brugge won three. In those matches, Antwerp found the back of the net six times, while Club Brugge scored ten goals.

The visiting Club Brugge have been on fire since the beginning of April, and this side has pushed themselves to the top of the standings. Antwerp, after winning the league last season, have fallen below expectations and could struggle here. The chances of winning are quite close here, and regardless of the fact that Club Brugge are on the road, they stand out and should take maximum points in this game.
