Neither Club Brugge nor Antwerp have had an ideal start to the Jupiler Pro League season. This has seen them drop behind league leaders Union Saint-Gilloise as tied second favourites in the football betting odds to claim the title. The 18-time winners take on the reigning champions Antwerp this weekend in what promises to be an end-to-end affair.
No matter which sportsbook you choose to bet with, you will find an array of sports betting markets on all the Jupiler Pro League fixtures.
Jupiler Pro League: Club Brugge vs Antwerp Preview
Things went from bad to worse for Club Brugge on matchday 11 when they lost 1-0 against relegation-threatened Kortrijk, leaving them nine points adrift of the top of the table. The defeat marked a fifth league match without a victory and resigned them to back-to-back defeats for the first time this campaign.
Antwerp were also on the receiving end of a defeat last weekend, losing 3-2 away against Charleroi. The champions have now won just once in five league outings and it is looking increasingly unlikely that they will retain the title they worked so hard to earn last season.
Stakes have rarely been higher when these two sides have met. Just a single point separates them in the Jupiler Pro League table and neither can afford to fall any further behind Union Saint-Gilloise if they are to remain genuine title contenders.
Club Brugge have typically gotten the better of Antwerp in recent fixtures at the Jan Breydel Stadion. The hosts have won four of the last five, with Antwerp’s most recent victory at Brugge coming in 2021. The two sides met on four occasions last season. Two of those ended all square, while both sides won a game each.
Club Brugge vs Antwerp Odds
Due to their home status, Club Brugge are favourites to claim all three points at 1.99. Antwerp are underdogs on the road at 3.47, while a draw is priced at 3.58. Goals will be expected in this one. Both teams to score is already heavily backed at 1.59, while either side to keep a clean sheet is at 2.26.
Ferran Jutgla is leading the odds to break the deadlock at 5.50, tied with his teammate Andreas Skov Olsen. Vincent Janssen is Antwerp’s most likely first goalscorer at 6.00.
Jupiler Pro League Betting Tips
Club Brugge win and both teams to score – 3.52
Brugge tend to perform in this fixture, especially on home soil. They will be expected to bounce back following a hugely disappointing defeat in Kortrijk, and we can’t see them losing this one. Antwerp have only claimed six points on the road this season, ranking them as the 10th best away team.
Andreas Skov Olsen to score first – 5.50
The 23-year-old will be on the radar of some top European clubs after an electric start to the campaign. He is Club Brugge’s top scorer with seven goals in 11 league appearances, and if anyone is going to drag Brugge to victory, it’s the Danish international.
