Prediction: 1-1
Anderlecht
Jan Breydel Stadion will host Sunday’s Jupiler League derby between Club Brugge and Anderlecht. Nicky Hayen’s troops scored a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw with their local rivals Cercle Brugge and they are now on a quest to return to winning ways in the Belgian top flight. Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet remains on the sidelines, with midfielder Philip Zinckernagel is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to build on a 1-0 win over Antwerp and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash. Given Club Brugge’s attacking potential at home ground, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Brian Riemer is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Reds in the last league match.
