Jupiler Pro League 2023: Club Brugge vs Gent Preview
Sunday’s early kick-off sees an out of form Club Brugge attempt to keep the initiative in the race for a top four spot. After winning just once in their last 11 Jupiler Pro League 2023 matches, they have fallen 10 points adrift of third place Antwerp and are at risk of losing out on a top four post-season place.
Gent’s win over Leuven last weekend ended a four-match winless run and closed the gap on Brugge to one point. Having won three of their last four visits to the Jan Breydel Stadion, Gent will be brimming with confidence as they prepare for matchday 27’s big game.
Despite winning just once in seven away games, that is still a superior record to Club Brugge, who are winless in seven home games. Scott Park has overseen just one victory since his arrival at the club, and the English coach’s job could be at risk should he fail to turn around Brugge’s abysmal form.
Club Brugge vs Gent: Key Players
Gent’s main man is undoubtedly the impressive Hugo Cuypers. He has scored 15 and assisted four in his first league campaign since joining from KV Mechelen, with six goals in his previous eight appearances singling him out as the danger man.
For Club Brugge, they need a little more from their feisty winger Noa Lang. The 23-year-old has found some form since the end of January, and the Dutchman will be pivotal if Brugge are to maintain their top four spot.
Jupiler Pro League 2023: Club Brugge vs Gent Betting Tips
Draw – 3.35
Club Brugge have drawn three consecutive Jupiler Pro League 2023 matches and six of their last seven. Gent will prove a tricky test, and although we can’t see the champions being beaten on home soil, Gent will certainly put up a fight.
Noa Lang first goalscorer – 8.00
Lang has opened the scoring in two of Brugge’s last four league games. They will look to the winger to be their creative spark and he often thrives under the pressure of a big game.
Hugo Cuypers anytime goalscorer – 2.60
If you’re looking for shorter odds, Cuypers is one of the most in-form players in the league and could well bag in this weekend’s fixture. Brugge have kept just one clean sheet in their previous 12 – Cuypers could be the man to benefit from a leaky defence.
