Club Brugge vs Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction: An entertaining game in this trophy encounter

Club Brugge and Union Saint-Gilloise will have the chance to win their first 2024/2025 season silverware when they face in the Belgian Super Cup this Saturday. Last season, Club Brugge won the Belgian League, while Union Saint-Gilloise won the Belgian Cup. Let’s look at this game below, giving comprehensive previews and making betting possibilities available. 

Club Brugge

Club Brugge had a very decent performance in the Belgian Pro League last season and will have high hopes this season. However, their first job will be to step up in this fixture following a 0-0 draw with Cercle Brugge to finish the previous season. 

In their pre-season performances, Club Brugge have not suffered a single defeat, having already played five games. In that run of matches, Club Brugge drew Knokke, PSV, and Dender. However, they picked wins over AEK Athens and Norwich in games that ended 4-1 and 3-0. 

Heading into this game, Club Brugge come in as favorites and have lost just one of their last five games to Union Saint-Gilloise in recent times. 

Union Saint-Gilloise

Union Saint-Gilloise are coming off a decent season, but they could only finish second spot in the standings last season. In the meantime, they did well to avoid a trophyless season, defeating Antwerp 1-0 in the Belgian Cup final, which gave them a chance to win a trophy in this fixture. 

However, their pre-season performances have been impressive, as they are on an impressive run of games. In those matches, Union Saint-Gilloise defeated Nijlen, G.A. Eagles, and PAOK. In the meantime, they could only settle for a 2-2 identical draw against Patro Eisden and Sporting CP. 

Heading into this game, Union Saint-Gilloise have not lost a single game of their 12 games in all competitions. In those games, Union Saint-Gilloise won 8 and drew 4. Also, this team has picked just one win over Club Brugge in their last five matches.

Expert Betting Tips

Union Saint-Gilloise have a very good chance in this game, looking at how well they were last season and the performances they have put in since the beginning of the pre-season. However, Club Brugge are a tough side to beat, and looking at how their previous meetings have ended, this game looks like the one that will end in a draw at full time, but with good offensive plays. Yet, Club Brugge are the better side, and I am certain they will be able to win on penalties.
