Prediction: 1-1
Anderlecht
All eyes will be on Jan Breydel Stadion when Club Brugge and Anderlecht go head to head in the Jupiler League round 27. Club Brugge have slim title chances and the team’s new goal is to secure a top-three finish. Anyhow, home win should not be considered as key attacker Igor Thiago misses out through suspension. Philip Zinckernagel is sidelined with an ankle injury, while fellow midfielder Chemsdine Talbi will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The capital club, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win. Anderlecht have been scoring goals for fun of late, but beating Club Brugge on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in the Jupiler League derby. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Brugge.
