The Jupiler Pro League returns this weekend with the beginning of the enthralling play-off stage.
Teams up and down the division are competing for different prizes, with Club Brugge and Anderlecht battling to win the title in the Championship Round.
Defending champions Club Brugge are looking to close the four-point gap to current leaders Genk, while Anderlecht are eight points off top spot and cannot afford any slip ups.
Below is a full match preview with some tips for your football bets online.
And when you use a sports betting site in Belgium, remember that live betting markets are also available on Pro League matches.
Club Brugge vs Anderlecht Preview
This match will act as a dress rehearsal for the Croky Cup final in May and is the latest edition of the skirmish between the two biggest clubs in Belgium.
Club Brugge ended the regular season well with two consecutive victories, while Anderlecht won three of the last five matches.
Both sides are able to fully focus on the challenging Championship Round in the coming weeks, with neither in European competition following the international break.
Weekend hosts Club Brugge were knocked out of the Champions League in the last 16 by Aston Villa, while Anderlecht could not get past Turkish giants Fenerbahce in the Europa League play-off round.
No European distractions only adds to the significance of this match and we are expecting a fierce contest in Bruges.
And perhaps the most intriguing aspect is the teams’ home and away records.
Club Brugge boasted the second-best home record in the regular season with 10 wins from 15, while Anderlecht were the third-best side on their travels with seven victories and three draws.
But perhaps more importantly, Club Brugge boss the recent head-to-head record vs Anderlecht.
A 2-1 home win in October for Nicky Hayen’s side was followed by a convincing 3-0 away victory in January.
The likely absence of club top scorer Kasper Dolberg makes this an even more difficult prospect for an Anderlecht side plagued by inconsistency in 2024-25.

Club Brugge vs Anderlecht Betting Tips
Ferran Jutgla to score anytime @ 2.75
Spanish striker Jutgla has been a revelation at Club Brugge this season and his form has meant summer signing Gustaf Nilsson is yet to nail down a regular spot in the starting XI. Jutgla scored five goals in his side’s previous four Pro League outings.
Club Brugge to be winning at half-time and full-time @ 2.07
The odds of Club Brugge winning the match are not that tempting, but you can handily boost them if you believe they will dominate proceedings from start to finish. Anderlecht were 2-0 down after just 22 minutes in their last away match against Westerlo.
