Club Brugge vs Westerlo Prediction: Incredible Brugge will not struggle

Jupiler Pro League action will move to Jan Breydel Stadium, where Club Brugge will take on Westerlo. Both teams could only take a point in their previous encounter and will hope for a good result here. Which side wins here? I will analyze the two teams' recent games while providing betting opportunities.

Club Brugge played Union Saint-Gilloise the previous weekend, and they settled for a draw. In a game that ended 2-2, Club Brugge came from two goals behind to avoid a defeat, thanks to Chemsdine Talbi and Gustaf Nilssons' brilliance. 

However, Club Brugge extended their unbeaten run of matches with that match. In their last thirteen matches in all competitions, Club Brugge have ten wins, with their last defeat being against a strong AC Milan side in the Champions League. 

Westerlo ended their losing streak against KV Mechelen the previous weekend and will hope for a win this time. In a game that ended 1-1, Westerlo needed a 75th Luka Vuskovic strike to take a point, having gone behind in the 35th minute. 

However, Westerlo have failed to win any of their last matches. In that run, this team lost to Anderlecht, Dender, and Union Saint-Gilloise while drawing Gent. In fact, Westerlo have one win in their last seven matches, a 4-0 win over Kortrijk. This season, from 19 matches, Westerlo has 23 points, scored 31 goals, and conceded 30 points, as they sit 11th. 

Club Brugge remains very hot, and they showed while they are at the top level with their performance over Saint-Gilloise. While Westerlo are struggling to get a win, being away from home will be a tough job for them. Looking at how their past meetings have ended, you can argue that Club Brugge could have a tough time, but their performances this season are on another level. Westerlo will not have any offensive productivity in this game as Club Brugge's level of play has improved defensively, while Brugge takes maximum points. However, while Club Brugge's strength this season has come from their offensive play, Westerlo has struggled defensively. Hence, a bet on goals.
