Prediction: 1-2
Club Brugge
Lotto Park will be the centre of attention when Anderlecht and Club Brugge go head to head in the Jupiler League derby on Sunday evening. The capital club failed to impress in a 3-2 loss to Dender before the winter break, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. Both Jan Vertonghen and Thorgan Hazard have overcome their respective injuries, but Mario Stroeykens remains in the recovery room.
The reigning champions, on the other hand, recorded a routine 3-0 win over Leuven in the Belgian Cup quarter-finals and given Anderlecht’s defensive struggles, we are tempted to place our bets on Nicky Hayen’s troops. The good news for the visiting side is that important midfielder Raphael Onyedika has overcome his injury. In their last meeting at Lotto Park, Club Brugge defeated Anderlecht 1-0, with Denis Odoi scoring the only goal of the match.
