Sunday’s collision between title challengers Union Saint-Gilloise and Club Brugge is widely expected to be a pulsating affair. The stakes could not be higher for both sides, who know maximum points could prove crucial in their quest to claim glory in the Jupiler Pro League.
Ahead of the clash, our expert betting tipster has studied the form and picked out some football odds for you to consider. Whether you choose to play with Bet777.be or any other online sportsbook, you can enjoy a range of online betting markets on all the biggest matches. Read on as we take a closer look at a must-see encounter between two of Belgium’s finest sides.
Union Saint-Gilloise vs Club Brugge Preview
With home advantage in their favour, title-chasing Union Saint-Gilloise are highly likely to fancy their chances of seeing off Club Brugge. They won this term’s first encounter between the two sides 2-1 back in November and then picked up a 1-1 draw away from home in the reverse fixture. Club Brugge will take heart from a 2-1 victory over Sunday’s opponents in the Belgian Cup but they ended up losing the tie 3-2 on aggregate.
Based on the league head-to-heads alone, both of which came during the regular season, the smart money appears to be on Union Saint-Gilloise — particularly if red-hot Mohamed Amoura gets the opportunity to add to his impressive goal tally. The Algerian, 23, has tended to score in fits and spurts this term but a run of six goals in five successive appearances in all competitions in December highlighted just how dangerous he can be. If the striker is fully fit and firing, only a brave man would bet against the hosts picking up maximum points.
Latest Jupiler League Betting Odds
Not surprisingly, the popular home side are a less than spectacular 2.29 to secure all three points at the Stade Joseph Marien. Club Brugge come in at a slightly more tempting 2.99 as they bid to leave with a win, while a draw is priced at 3.35.
Union Saint-Gilloise vs Club Brugge Betting Tips
Mohamed Amoura to score first – 5.50
Union Saint-Gilloise’s main man has caught the eye of a number of clubs this term and it comes as no surprise that Premier League trio West Ham, Wolves and Tottenham have all been linked with him. Amoura’s impressive form for the Brussels-based side has made him a contender to finish the campaign as the league’s top scorer and it will take a big-money offer to prise him away this summer. With his contract running until 2027, Union Saint-Gilloise will hope he bags plenty more goals before moving on — starting with Sunday’s showdown.
Both teams to score – 1.66
With title hopes, pride, bragging rights and valuable points on the line, there is always the chance the game will fail to live up to expectations and finish in a goalless stalemate. But the teams have shown they have plenty of firepower among their ranks this season.
