There are plenty of cracking fixtures to look forward to as this exciting post-season campaign draws to a close. Gent look to be soaring clear at the top of the Conference League Group, but things are far tighter amongst the top four, where Union St. Gilloise and Club Brugge continue to battle it out for the league title and an automatic spot in the Champions League.

Charleroi vs KV Mechelen
Despite both of these sides showing promise towards the end of the regular season, they have failed to keep pace with the top two in the Conference League Group. The visitors’ away form has been a problem all season – they picked up just 18 of their 52 points on the road in the main campaign and have failed to turn that around since the league split.
Charleroi won’t be oozing confidence following their inability to make any ground in the Jupiler Pro League rankings, and their less than impressive record in this fixture certainly won’t help. The hosts are without a win in five games against KV Mechelen, losing two of their three meetings this season. There isn’t a lot to pick between these two – both would settle for a point.
Draw – 3.55
Antwerp vs Club Brugge
At one stage it looked like Antwerp were in with a chance of claiming a first league title since 1957, but some faltering end of season form led to a complete capitulation in the play-offs, and the hosts now seem resigned to a Conference League spot. Their 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Anderlecht will have done nothing for morale, and their record against the champions doesn’t make for good reading either.
Club Brugge have won two of the three meetings between these sides this season, with the other ending all square. In fact, Brugge have only lost at Bosuilstadion once in 12 visits since 2001. Alfred Schreuder’s side can’t afford any more slip ups with St. Gilloise relentless in their pursuit of the Jupiler Pro League rankings top spot.
Club Brugge win – 1.80
Genk vs Gent
If Genk had shown the kind of form we’ve seen in recent months slightly earlier, they might have found themselves in contention at the top of the Jupiler Pro League rankings. The hosts have lost just twice at home since early December as they prepare to face a Gent side looking to secure European Football next season.
The visitors have typically done their best work on home soil this season, but despite boasting the best home record in the main campaign, six teams accumulated more points on the road. It looks like Gent will end up on top of the Conference League Group, but Genk have the momentum heading into this clash.
Genk win – 2.40
Anderlecht vs Union St. Gilloise
Anything other than victory is not an option this weekend, as the historic St. Gilloise go in search of a first top-flight league title since 1935. It’s been an incredible rise to the summit of the Jupiler Pro League rankings following their promotion last season, but they might just struggle to get over the line.
Anderlecht have lost just twice at home all season, and they’ll be looking to spoil the party. St. Gilloise might have won both of their previous visits to Lotto Park, but a lot has changed within Vincent Kompany’s side since that defeat on the opening day of the season. It should be an open, free scoring affair, one which could see the points shared.
Draw – 3.55
