This match for week 12 of the Jupiler Pro League will take place at the Jan Breydel Stadium and feature a matchup between Club Brugge and Antwerp. You can find below complete information regarding the match as well as betting opportunities. 

After claiming a victory in the Conference League against Lugano by a score of 1-3, Club Brugge is looking to add another victory to their record. In the match, Éder Balanta scored for Club Brugge in the 15th minute, Andreas Skov Olsen scored in the 50th minute, and Hans Vanaken scored in the 87th minute. On the other hand, Shkelqim Vladi scored a goal for Lugano in the 74th minute of the encounter. In five out of the last six matches that Club Brugge has been a part of, the average number of goals scored was lower than three per match. In terms of the distribution of goals scored during this period, the rival teams combined for a total of five goals, while Club Brugge tallied six. Taking a look at the data before the game, we can see that Antwerp have not been able to defeat Club Brugge in any of their previous four games in the league. Additionally, the host club has not been victorious against Antwerp in either of their last two league encounters.

Antwerp and their fans will be hoping for a different result this time around after the team's previous Champions League match against Porto ended in a defeat for the Belgian club. During that game, Antwerp held possession for 55% of the time and had 11 shots on goal, with only two of them finding the target. Alhassan Yusuf was the lone player for Antwerp to get their name on the scoresheet, as they scored in the 37th minute. On the other end of the field, Porto had 11 shots on goal, with seven of them finding the back of the net. Evanilson scored for Antwerp in the 46th, 69th, and 84th minutes, while Stephen Eustáquio scored for Porto in the 54th minute. Antwerp won 4-0. Antwerp's most recent six outings on the pitch have resulted in a total of 20 goals scored, an average of 3.33 goals per game, which demonstrates the team's propensity for engaging contests that produce a lot of scoring opportunities for both teams. 11 of this grand total's goals have been scored by opposing teams. In the previous two league matches that Antwerp have played away from home against Club Brugge, they have not been victorious. On the other hand, the away team has failed to win either of their last two league matches when playing away from home.

We believe that Antwerp may have a difficult time breaking down this Club Brugge lineup, who we believe should be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance. We also believe that Antwerp may have a difficult time scoring against Club Brugge. We anticipate a tough match that will end with Club Brugge prevailing with a score of 1-0.
