Club Brugge
Club Brugge will be aiming to melt Royale Union SG’s advantage in the standings when they take on Mechelen at AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne on Friday evening. The reigning champions dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Standard Liege, with the team dropping to third place in the standings. Club Brugge are desperate to return to winning ways, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Mechelen.
Experienced attacker Bas Dost was scoring goals for fun before the international break, and he is likely to keep his place in the starting XI. Both Nsoki and Providence remain in the recovery room, while important attacker Noa Lang returns from suspension. Mechelen, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to St. Truiden in their last league match. Wouter Vrancken’s men had no more than one shot on target in the defeat to the Canaries, which is yet another reason why away win should be considered.
