Pro League
These teams met around a month ago, with the match ending in a 2:2 draw. However, Club Brugge dominated the game and fully deserved to win all three points. These teams have also met this season in Anderlecht, with the hosts winning 1:0. Looking further back, over the past ten H2H games, Club Brugge were much more successful, winning seven games, while Anderlecht won two.
Regarding the number of goals, seven of the past ten H2H games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in six of them.
Club Brugge team overview
Last year, Club Brugge won the domestic Cup, but failed to win the league title as Union SG left them just three points away. This year, it seems we could have a race for the league between those two teams, as they are only one point apart in the Championship Group table. At the moment, Club Brugge are the favorite, but the bookies still favor Union SG a bit more to win the title, offering odds around 1.9 on that bet, while the odds on Club Brugge are around 2.1-2.2.
Full back Bjorn Meijer recovered from illness and will be ready for the upcoming match. While he hasn't been an important part of the first eleven, he has had some excellent performances, and his return is definitely a plus. Meanwhile, Hans Vanaken, Dani van den Heuvel, and Lynnt Audoor should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Anderlecht team overview
Anderlecht did great in the Cup, reaching the Finals, where they will meet Union SG in about a month. However, they had a pretty underwhelming season in the Jupiler Pro League, barely securing a spot in the Championship Group after winning just one point in the final three rounds. Now, the Purple & White are entering the Championship Group as the last-placed team in the league table with 22 points - 11 fewer than the first-placed Union SG.
Midfielder Nathan Saliba and striker Adriano Bertaccini served their suspensions in the previous games and will be available. On the other hand, Cesar Saul Huerta Valera and Danylo Sikan, who missed the previous games, should remain sidelined. Meanwhile, Enric Llansana is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury.

Prediction
Club Brugge are in excellent form, having won 10 points from their last four games. Also, at home, they're undefeated in their past seven games and have a 69% win rate throughout the season.
On the other hand, Anderlecht won just one point in the past three games. It was evident throughout the season that they are not on the level of the very best teams in the league. That was especially true on the road, where they finished the first phase of the season as the 12th team out of 16.
Also, Club Brugge won seven of the past ten H2H games. Considering the trend in the previous H2H games and the difference in form, we believe the hosts should secure a comfortable home win.
3 Reasons why Club Brugge should win and cover the -1 AH spread
- Club Brugge won ten points in the past four games
- Anderlecht lost back-to-back games
- Club Brugge won seven of the past ten H2H games
