The Jupiler Pro League 2022 season is back and what a set of fixtures we have on 26th December! Three of the league’s top four will be hoping to celebrate Christmas with three points, as we prepare to head into the second half of the regular season in 2023.

Club Brugge vs Leuven
The race for post-season football is well and truly heating up in the Jupiler Pro League 2022 campaign. Fourth place Club Brugge sit just three points inside the top four, 13 points adrift of league leaders Genk as we head towards Christmas. The reigning champions face a tough test on their return to league action, as they prepare to face eighth place Leuven.
Leuven have impressed this season, and they are one of the three most prolific away attacks. They have scored in three of their last four matches against Brugge, and although we expect them to come up just short, they will cause the Belgian giants plenty of problems.
Club Brugge win and both teams to score – 2.67
Union St. Gilloise vs Oostende
St. Gilloise are another of those Jupiler Pro League 2022 teams desperately hoping Genk drop points. They will look to close the gap on top of the table against Oostende on the 26th. The hosts are among the best defensive performers on home soil, and they will be firm favourite against an Oostende team that rank 17th for points won on the road.
Oostende haven’t beaten St. Gilloise in five attempts, with two of the last three fixtures ending 7-1 and 6-1 in favour of the second place side. There won’t be a lot for the travelling fans to celebrate in this one.
Union St. Gilloise win – 1.33
Kortrijk vs Genk
Genk have a rather inviting return to Jupiler Pro League 2022 life, as they look to extend their lead at the top against second-bottom Kortrijk. The hosts have picked up just five points in nine home games this season, scoring five and conceding 18 in the process. This doesn’t bode well as they welcome the league’s best performing away team to Guldensporen Stadion.
Genk have scored 45 goals in 17 games, but they also have the best defensive record in the division. They have won three of their last four away games to nil, and will be heavy favourites to run away comfortable winners on Boxing Day.
Genk win to nil – 2.70
Charleroi vs Anderlecht
This is the latest in a long line of crucial Jupiler Pro League 2022 games for Anderlecht. They have fallen apart since losing Vincent Kompany, and currently sit five points adrift of the top eight. They have more than enough quality throughout their squad to be back competing in the post-season spots, but it remains to be seen when they will turn that form around.
Charleroi are a dangerous side on their day, but there is no real consistency to them. Only two teams have picked up fewer points in the last 10 games, with Anderlecht sure to prove too much on the day.
Anderlecht win – 2.34
