Prediction: 2-1
St Gilloise
Sparkles will be flying when Club Brugge and Royale Union SG face each other at Jan Breydel Stadion in the Jupiler League derby. Club Brugge are eyeing their seventh consecutive league win and a triumph over St Gilloise will see them move one step closer to winning their 19th Jupiler League trophy. Raphael Onyedika is back from the Conference League ban, while both Boyata and Meijer remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, dropped two points in a goalless draw with Anderlecht at the weekend. As Club Brugge have been producing excellent performances in the playoffs, we do not believe that Alexander Blessin’s men are going to grab something from the Jupiler League derby. Defender Christian Burgess remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Brugge. The opposition back-line should have top scorer Hakan Nilsson at bay.
