The pick of this weekend’s Jupiler Pro League fixtures comes from the Ghelamco Arena where Gent take on Club Brugge. The hosts are currently favourites in the football odds but Brugge have started the season on fire and will be hoping to continue that hot streak.

Gent vs Club Brugge Preview
It’s been a promising start for last season’s high-flyers Gent, with the hosts unbeaten in their opening four matches and tied in second with this weekend’s opposition Club Brugge. Wins over Kortrijk, KV Mechelen, and Westerlo were impressive, but a visit from Belgian giants Brugge will prove a different task entirely.
The 18-time champions arrive in Gent on the back of an extremely positive start – much improved from last season. After a fairly drab 1-1 draw on the opening day, they have since beaten Westerlo 1-0, before thumping Eupen 5-0 and RWDM 7-1. Going forward, they look like they could score with every attack, which is more than what could be said for them last season.
For all of their dominance in the Jupiler Pro League over the past years, this is not typically a fixture Club Brugge have enjoyed. They have won two and lost three of their last five meetings with Gent. Their record at the Ghelamco is far from perfect either, with six defeats and one draw in their last 11 visits.
Jupiler Pro League Football Odds
Gent will head into the tie as very slight favourites at 2.36, while Club Brugge will travel as 2.67 underdogs. Both teams to score is heavily backed at 1.52, as is over 2.5 goals (1.61). The score when these two last met 2-0 to Brugge, with the odds currently at 17.00 for a repeat of that result on matchday six.
There will be plenty of in-form attackers on show this weekend, with Hugo Cuypers (5.30), Gift Orban (6.50), Igor Thiago (7.00), and Andreas Skov Olsen (8.50) all decent first goalscorer options.
Jupiler Pro League: Gent vs Club Brugge Betting Tips
Club Brugge win and both teams to score – 4.30
This is a classic case of all-out attack. Both forward lines have been on fire and we expect their to be goals when the two meet. Club Brugge look to be back to their best and will have a slight edge.
Andreas Skov Olsen to score first – 8.50
Skov Olsen has been electric thus far in both the Jupiler Pro League and in European qualification. He is relishing his role on the right-side of Brugge’s attack and could well be the man to break the deadlock on matchday six.
