Prediction: 1-2
Club Brugge
There will be fireworks when Anderlecht and Club Brugge go head to head at Lotto Park in the Jupiler League derby. Anderlecht aim to extend their unbeaten run to seven games, but they face a difficult task against the fellow title hopefuls. Talented defender Zeno Debast is banned for Sunday’s showdown, while Denmark forward Anders Dreyer is pushing for a start after scoring a late equalizer in a 2-2 draw with Kortrijk at the weekend.
Club Brugge, on the other hand, aim to build on a 4-2 win over Charleroi. The Blauw-Zwart have been scoring goals for fun in the new Jupiler League campaign and seeing that Anderlecht are capable of finding the net on home soil, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be pacey winger Skov Olsen, while Tajon Buchanan remains in the recovery room, while all Talbi, Nusa, and Meijer are major doubts.
