Prediction: 2-3
Club Brugge
Dender and Club Brugge face each other at Dender Football Complex in what will be their first meeting in the Jupiler League since February 2009. Back then Club Brugge defeated Dender 2-0 and the reigning champions are seen as favourites to win Sunday’s matinee as well. The newcomers have been performing above expectations in the new domestic campaign and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Michael Lallemand remains on the sidelines with a broken ankle, while both Abdoulaye Yahaya and Jasper Van Oudenhove are major doubts.
The title holders, on the other hand, defeated Antwerp in the Jupiler League derby on Matchday 4, with summer signing Gustaf Nilsson scoring the only goal of the match. Club Brugge are eager to give fans yet another reason to celebrate and given Dender’s attacking potential, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. The likes of Victor Barbera, Kyriani Sabbe, and Bjorn Meijer have been struggling of late, speaking of the away team.
