St. Truiden vs Westerlo
Westerlo have struck a rich vein of form in recent weeks, putting a four-point gap between themselves and the relegation places. This impressive run includes wins against Standard Liege and Cercle Brugge, as well as draws against Gent and St. Gilloise. They have hit form at the perfect time.
St. Truiden were beaten 4-1 by Anderlecht last time out, meaning they now sit just five points above Westerlo. This weekend could see a huge shift in the Jupiler Pro League. While St. Truiden tend to perform better on home soil, you get the feeling the form of these two teams is trending in opposite directions. As a result, we like the look of Westerlo at 3.30.
Westerlo to win – 3.30
Club Brugge vs Anderlecht
It was a disappointing 1-1 tie in the Bruges derby last time out. Club Brugge’s title dreams have now well and truly vanished. However, they could also put a dent in Anderlecht’s hopes this weekend at the Jan Breydel Stadion. Brugge are still unbeaten at home in all competitions this season. Regardless of their form, they continue to pick up points in front of their home crowd.
While Anderlecht make themselves tricky to beat away from home – they have lost just once in nine away matches – they have also struggled to turn performances into three points. They have now won once in their last five away matches, with three draws and a defeat. Brugge’s consistent home record against Anderlecht’s rocky away form suggests the hosts could take the points.
Club Brugge to win – 1.66
Gent vs Antwerp
Just two points separate Antwerp in fourth place and Gent in fifth place. This game will be crucial to decide which team can book a spot in the top six for the post-season. Gent find themselves in a rough spot, with their victory last weekend the first in seven matches. They have suffered six defeats in that time.
While Antwerp aren’t exactly at their best either, we have seen them thrive when the pressure is on in previous campaigns. The visitors have won five of their previous eight outings, and with Dutchman Vincent Janssen back to his best and firing on all cylinders, they will be confident in claiming all three points at the KAA Gent Arena.
Antwerp to win – 2.97
