Match Time & Date:

13:30
Prediction: 2-2
Club Brugge
All eyes will be on Bosuilstadion when Antwerp and Club Brugge square off against each other in the Jupiler League derby. Following five consecutive league wins, Antwerp suffered a 2-1 loss to Waregem in their last league match. The Great Old aim to get back on course as soon as possible, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash. Both Aurelio Buta and Radja Nainggolan remain in the recovery room, while Bruny Nsimba and Sander Coopman are major doubts.
Club Brugge, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 2-0 win over Kortrijk. Even though the title holders failed to impress in a heavy 5-1 loss to Man City in midweek, we predict that they will find the net in Sunday’s derby. Taking everything into account, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Talented forward Ruben Providence should be the only absentee in the away team.
