After the busy festive period, the Pro League table has been left looking extremely compact. Any result could have huge implications for a number of teams and the margin for error is down to almost zero.
Two teams that will be feeling the heat are 3rd-placed Anderlecht and 2nd-placed Club Brugge, who will be facing off in a massive game at Anderlecht this weekend. Both teams have title aspirations that could be dented by a loss that neither can afford. The stakes are high and we can’t wait to see how this one plays out after the midweek Croky Cup action.

Anderlecht vs Club Brugge Preview
Hosts Anderlecht are currently chasing an eight-point deficit to Club Brugge, making a victory even more crucial as they risk it increasing to an almost insurmountable 11-point gap. Their form has not been reliable of late, as they have lost twice in their last five matches, the losses coming consecutively in Matchdays 19 and 20.
They will need to pick themselves up if they want to get a result against an intimidating Brugge side who will show them no sympathy. The hosts will be relying on their talented and dynamic front line that includes Danish hitman Kasper Dolberg.
Over the holidays, Brugge managed to claw back some ground on leaders Genk, leaving them trailing by one point and within touching distance of top spot. But while they will be hoping for their rivals to slip up, Brugge should be more focused on keeping the points coming and piling on the pressure.
They are in the midst of an incredible 12-game unbeaten run in the Pro League, which can be extended to 13 this weekend. The reigning champs are still on Champions League duty, which may impact the levels of fatigue in the camp, but won’t want to let this dent their chances. Of course, they have a very talented and deep squad to help cope with the intense demands of the football schedule.
Andreas Skov Olsen has been their main source of goals this season, supplied by versatile midfielder Hans Vanaken. Both will need to be firing to get past a stubborn Anderlecht side on Sunday.
