Club Brugge v Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction

Best Bet: Club Brugge to win @ 1/1

Union Saint-Gilloise are the defending champions and have the upper hand in recent meetings, having won the last two head-to-head encounters.

However, both of those games took place at the Joseph Marien Stadium, the home of Union Saint-Gilloise.

Only Union Saint-Gilloise have picked up more points on home soil than Club Brugge this season and it is that home advantage that could prove to be crucial.

After losing to Union Saint-Gilloise in April, Club Brugge have won four games in a row, scoring two goals in each of those victories.

Union Saint-Gilloise lost their last away game 2-1 to Sint Truiden and they should struggle to get past a Club Brugge side that have avoided defeat in 10 successive home fixtures.

Alternative Bet: Under 2.5 goals @ 9/10

While last month's meeting finished 2-1 to Union Saint-Gilloise, it was the first game between the two sides this season that saw three goals scored.

The first two fixtures finished 1-0 to either side and another close game should be expected on Sunday.

Club Brugge have kept two clean sheets in three outings, but Union Saint-Gilloise have only conceded 21 goals all season.

With so much at stake, both teams are likely to play with caution. Club Brugge can move one step closer to the title by avoiding defeat and another game with three goals or fewer looks good value.

Club Brugge v Union Saint-Gilloise Bet Builder Tip

• Nicolo Tresoldi or Christos Tzolis to score

• HT/FT - Draw/Club Brugge

  
  Pays @ 7/1

Club Brugge have not been the fastest starters this season, winning only nine of their 30 regular-season games by half-time. Union Saint-Gilloise had only lost four first halves in comparison, and a cagey opening can be expected in such a pivotal contest.

With Club Brugge expected to finish strong and come out on top, it should be Nicolo Tresoldi or Christos Tzolis who get themselves on the scoresheet.

Tresoldi is Club Brugge's top scorer with 15 goals and he has also picked up three assists this season. Tzolis has 14 goals and 18 assists to his name this season and he will be in thick of things for the hosts.

Either Tzolis and Tresoldi have scored in Club Brugge's last four meetings and the same should happen in this title battle.
