Reigning champions Club Brugge are a team on a mission in the Jupiler Pro League.
After a slow start to the campaign, the serial title winners look back to their best and are hunting down current table toppers Genk.
But Union Saint-Gilloise should offer stern resistance on Sunday in what is set to be yet another fascinating match in the Pro League.
And remember, 777 Sport has a range of football odds for you to enjoy, with so many different markets to help make the sports betting experience even more exciting.
Union Saint-Gilloise vs Club Brugge Preview
Club Brugge are the form team in the Pro League right now, recording four wins on the spin and really boosting their chances of retaining the title.
Last weekend, Nicky Hayen’s side claimed their biggest victory of the season so far when they beat Genk 2-0 on home soil and cut the gap at the top to just one point.
That result came just after Club Brugge’s impressive 2-1 triumph over Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League, which further highlights just how well the Belgian champions are playing right now.
As such, USG face the unenviable task of trying to stop them, although they are not in bad form themselves.
Sunday’s hosts are unbeaten in their last five matches in the Pro League, drawing two and winning three – including Matchday 18’s 3-1 win over Westerlo.
But scoring goals has been a big problem for sixth-placed USG. They have rippled the back of the net just 23 times in 18 matches, which is comfortably the lowest total among the top six.
Club Brugge are the division’s leading scorers with 38 goals and this obvious additional threat in the final third could prove crucial when the two teams lock horns on Sunday.

Union Saint-Gilloise vs Club Brugge Betting Tips
Draw at half-time, Club Brugge to win @ 6.40
USG are pretty solid at the back having conceded only 15 goals this season. So we expect them to frustrate Club Brugge for large parts of the game, but in the end, the visitors’ attacking power should be too strong and ultimately pave the way for a crucial win.
Gustaf Nilsson to score anytime @ 3.25
Whenever a striker plays against their former club, you always feel like they are going to score. Swedish centre forward Nilsson has not really set the world alight at Club Brugge so far, netting only three times in 10 Pro League games. But he is a seriously good player and we can see him hurting his former employers this weekend.
Andreas Skov Olsen OR Gustaf Nilsson to score anytime @ 2.08
But if you do not want to put all your eggs in the Nilsson basket, this bet might be right up your street. Skov Olsen is another one of Club Brugge’s most potent attacking weapons and scored the second crucial goal in last weekend’s 2-0 win over Genk, which was his seventh of the season.
