After beating Eupen 4-1 and establishing a four-point lead at the summit of the Jupiler Pro League, Union Saint-Gilloise find themselves as favourites in the football odds to claim the title. They will take on Westerlo away from home on matchday 12 as they look to increase that gap.

KV Mechelen vs Cercle Brugge
We’re kicking things off with Saturday’s earliest kick-off where 13th-place KV Mechelen host fourth-place Cercle Brugge. The hosts are now just four points off the bottom of the Jupiler Pro League table following four defeats in their previous five games.
In contrast, Cercle Brugge have bounced back from three successive defeats with back-to-back wins for only the second time this campaign. They beat title contenders Gent 2-0 on matchday 11, so they will be brimming with confidence as they prepare to take on the relegation-threatened Mechelen.
Cercle Brugge to win – 2.14
Anderlecht vs Leuven
After going 2-0 up within 25 minutes in Liege, Anderlecht crumbled, conceding three second-half goals and eventually losing 3-2 against Standard. Despite it being only their second loss of the Jupiler Pro League season, they have now fallen four points adrift of league leaders and title favourites Union Saint-Gilloise.
We’re backing Anderlecht to get back to winning ways on matchday 12 against Leuven. The visitors were 4-0 victors last time out but face an entirely different prospect this weekend. They have won just once in their five away matches this season and are unlikely to take anything from an Anderlecht team unbeaten on home soil.
Anderlecht to win – 1.50
Westerlo vs Union Saint-Gilloise
With each passing week, Saint-Gilloise will be becoming more and more confident in their title charge. They won their fifth consecutive Jupiler Pro League match last time out and marked a fourth straight game scoring three goals or more.
While Westerlo have stopped the run of six defeats which looked certain to relegate them, they have still won just one of their 11 matches this campaign. They have lost four of their five home games this season, a record which looks set to worsen when the division’s strongest performing away team rolls into town.
Union Saint-Gilloise to win – 1.65
Kortrijk vs Genk
Genk finally put an end to the miraculous run of four straight league draws last weekend with an impressive 4-0 win over Mechelen. They are now undefeated in nine league games and will have their eyes firmly set on the top of the division.
Kortrijk sit second from bottom having lost seven of their opening 11. They might have beaten Club Brugge last time out, but the Belgian giants dominated most of the match and were unlucky to lose following a missed penalty. There is every chance Kortrijk’s luck runs out on Sunday when they take on Genk.
Genk to win – 1.51
