The fight for the title of Belgian champion is exciting this season as well as the previous ones. At the moment, Club Brugge is the closest to the trophy with 45 points, followed by Anderlecht with 43 and Royale Union SG with 42.

On Wednesday, Club Brugge ended the competition in the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League in a disappointing way, but they don't have much time to grieve because a no less important match waiting for them. So far, they have shown convincingly the most of all the clubs in the championship group, because they won a phenomenal 19 points in the seven matches they played. In the last round, despite a not so great game, they managed to beat the Antwerp squad on the road with a score of 2:1, and thus showed that this team has a winning mentality.

On the other side, Royal Union SG did not manage to transfer the great form from the first part of the season. Although they started the play-off as the leaders in the table, with a series of bad results this squad fell to the third position and thus significantly reduced their chances of winning the long-awaited title. In the meantime, they found little consolation in winning their first Belgian Cup after more than 100 years. In the final game, they defeated the current champion Antwerp by a minimal score, and the absolute hero of his team was the Japanese Koki Machida with a goal in the last moments of the first half.

Club Brugge vs Royal Union SG pick: DOUBLE CHANCE, DRAW OR UNION SG WIN

The psychological moment will play an important role in this match. Even though they are the leaders in the table, Brugge players will still have in their minds the missed opportunity and the painful defeat against Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League game. This team undoubtedly has quality, but the question is whether they will be able to reset so quickly. On the other hand, the visiting footballers will be full of self-confidence after winning the trophy, which can only further motivate them to play a good match. As a rule, the previous matches between these clubs were very exciting and the winners were determined by the small things, and it is this detail that can bring the advantage in this match. Maybe at this moment a draw is the most realistic outcome, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the guests play relaxed and get a huge three points.
