Antwerp vs Standard Liege
After suffering back-to-back Jupiler Pro League defeats, champions Antwerp got back to winning ways against Genk on matchday 13. They took a 3-0 first-half lead, before surviving a late scare to come away 3-2 victors. They face another tough task this weekend as they host Liege, but Antwerp will be confident having done their best work on home soil this campaign.
They have won 14 points in six home matches, with only league leaders Union having claimed more points at home. The travelling Standard Liege have won just two of their six away matches this season including a 3-1 defeat to Gent on their last road trip. They also drew 1-1 at home with KV Mechelen last weekend with their run of good form seemingly having come to an end. It will be tricky for them to take anything in Antwerp.
Antwerp to win – 1.62
Club Brugge vs Cercle Brugge
Just two points separates these two sides ahead of Sunday’s Bruges derby. Cercle Brugge are in fourth place, while Club Brugge find themselves down in seventh. It was another disappointing defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise last time out for Club Brugge, meaning they have now lost three of their previous four Jupiler Pro League matches. It doesn’t seem to be clicking for them this season, however, they rarely lose the derby.
Cercle Brugge’s three-match winning streak came to an end last time out when they were hammered 3-0 by Anderlecht. Despite probably being the more in-form team coming into this massive game, Cercle Brugge have gotten the better of their local rivals just once in the last 15 meetings. Club Brugge have won six of the previous 10 Bruges derbies and they will be hoping to improve on that record and leapfrog their neighbours in the table.
Club Brugge to win – 1.70
Union Saint-Gilloise vs Kortrijk
Union Saint-Gilloise remain four points clear at the summit as they continue their pursuit of a first league title in decades. They look set to continue their fine league form as they prepare to host bottom-of-the-league Kortrijk. The hosts have now won seven consecutive league matches, including their previous four at home. They show no signs of slowing this weekend.
Kortrijk have claimed just one point in six away matches, scoring three goals and conceding 15. They have failed to find the net in four of these matches and we’d be surprised if they caused Union too many issues on matchday 14.
Union Saint-Gilloise win to nil – 1.96
