Jupiler Pro League 2023: Club Brugge vs Anderlecht Preview
Reigning champions Club Brugge head into Jupiler Pro League matchday 20 in fourth place, 15 points adrift of league leaders Genk. A fourth consecutive title appears to be slipping away and their spot in the post-season Championship Group is not yet confirmed.
Brugge have picked up just five points in as many games, but they welcome an equally out of form Anderlecht to Jan Breydel Stadion. Belgium’s most decorated club sit in the bottom half of the Jupiler Pro League rankings and are at risk of missing out on the top eight.
Despite their poor form, Club Brugge will be confident ahead of their tie thanks to their impressive record in this fixture. They have been beaten by rivals Anderlecht just four times in the prior 25 meetings, stretching back to 2016. In contrast, Club Brugge have won 11, with 10 ending all square.
Club Brugge vs Anderlecht: Key Players
It’s always close when these two meet. Anderlecht’s hopes of earning a result in the latest Jupiler Pro League 2023 clash lay largely on the young shoulders of Fabio Silva. The 20-year-old is their top scorer with seven this season, and despite dipping in and out of form this campaign, his clever movement and tidy finishing make him a handful on his day.
Club Brugge will also be reliant on their centre forward. Ferran Jutgla has provided eight goals and four assists in 18 league appearances. His improving partnership with creative winger Andreas Skov Olsen could cause Anderlecht huge problems.
Jupiler Pro League 2023: Club Brugge vs Anderlecht Betting Tips
Under 2.5 goals – 2.10
Recent meetings have been close affairs – four of the last five have seen under 2.5 goals. When you also factor in that neither side has netted more than once in any of their last three games, it looks a promising selection.
Ferran Jutgla anytime goalscorer – 2.50
A good selection for a combo bet, Jutgla has been Club Brugge’s danger man in the Jupiler Pro League 2023 season. He will fancy his chances of finding the net against an Anderlecht side that have kept just one clean sheet in their last seven.
Draw – 3.67
Six of the last seven meetings between these two have ended in draws. Neither is in good form and both are having poor campaigns by their own standards. We can see them sharing the points.
