Club Brugge vs Anderlecht Prediction: The home team will not have things easy

Jan Breydel Stadium will be the venue for the Jupiler Pro League encounter between Club Brugge and Anderlecht. In their last meeting, Club Brugge secured a hard-fought 0-1 victory. Can Anderlecht, on the road, get a win?

Club Brugge are coming off a Champions League game encounter against AC Milan, which ended in defeat. In that game, Christian Pulisic put AC Milan in the lead from a direct corner kick. While Kyriani Sabbe pulled one back for Club Brugge in that game to level the score, a second-half brace by Tijjani Reijnders was enough to seal a win for their opponent. However, this team secured a 1-2 victory over Westerlo in a prior league game thanks to two first-half goals from Jorne Spileers and Hans Vanaken. Heading into this game, Club Brugge sit 5th in the league standings, scoring 18 goals and conceding 13.

Anderlecht secured a win over Ludogorets in a Europa League game the previous time out and will look to replicate that performance here. In that game, Samuel Edozie and Anders Dreyer’s strikes were enough to secure a win for this team. In the meantime, Anderlecht's prior league encounter was against Beerschot VA, and they lost 2-1. This season, this team has accumulated 17 league points from a possible 33. However, they scored 14 goals in that run while conceding 10, leaving them seated 6th spot.

The two teams have not been better than each other this season, and they have a chance of winning this game. Looking at how things have ended between each other in recent matches, this encounter can go either way. We should expect a lot of attacking play, however, with goals from both ends in recent meetings. Take this game to end in a draw, as both teams will prioritize avoiding a defeat, with both teams finding the back of the net.
