RSC Anderlecht Vs Club Brugge Preview
The home side currently sit top of the table for the championship round play-off, but with only two wins in their last five they will need to dig deep to ensure they maintain their position. Their Danish strike force of Anders Dreyer and Kasper Dolberg have 30 goals between them this season and alongside creative midfielder Thorgan Hazard they will be the focus of their efforts when they meet the Blauw-Zwart this weekend. As well as relying on their solid defensive partnership of veteran Jan Vertonghen and promising talent Zeno Debast.
Club Brugge will feel confident going into the weekend after not losing any of their last five games with only one draw and four wins. Their personnel are undoubtedly a huge factor in their recent success, with centre forward and top scorer Igor Thiago supported by La Masia graduate Ferrán Jutglà and one of Europe’s most sought after youngsters, Antonio Nusa. Andreas Skov Olsen and Hans Vanaken also provide strong back up to an already dynamic front line which will attempt to break down the league leaders when they face off this weekend.
The sides have been fairly even in their last five matches, splitting two draws with Brugge winning twice and Anderlecht once. However, it was Club Brugge who took home the three points in a 3-1 win last time they squared off in April.
