Prediction: 1-2
Club Brugge
Club Brugge will be looking to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 loss to Genk when they take on Antwerp at Bosuilstadion. The reigning champions are determined to defend their trophy, and seeing that Genk are breathing down their neck, Thursday’s clash is of big importance for the visiting team. Uruguay defender Federico Ricca should be the only absentee in Philippe Clement’s team.
Antwerp, on the other hand, head into the match with a severely-weakened squad as all Avenatti, Batubinsika, Boya, and Lakmel Ze have been tested positive for coronavirus. Since both Nsimba and Gelin are likely to miss the match with injuries, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the title holders. In the previous meeting between the two teams at the venue Club Brugge defeated Antwerp 2-0, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
