Jupiler Pro League: Saint-Gilloise vs Club Brugge Preview
It’s the newest title challenger against the dominant force of the last decade. Union Saint-Gilloise sit top of the Jupiler Pro League table by four points after 12 games, while Club Brugge trail in sixth, nine points adrift of the top.
The hosts come into this game off the back of six consecutive league wins, having scored three or more goals in each of the last five. They may have kept just two clean sheets during that time, but when you are scoring as many goals as Union are, conceding a goal or two isn’t the end of the world.
Following disappointing back-to-back league defeats against Standard Liege and Kortrijk, Club Brugge bounced back with a 2-1 win over Antwerp on matchday 12. It ended a poor five-match run with a victory, which means they now have a lot of ground to make up on the top of the table.
Club Brugge have typically had the better of this fixture since Union returned to the top flight. Brugge have won four and lost just once in those eight fixtures, as well as winning three of their four visits to Saint-Gilloise.

Jupiler Pro League Betting Tips
Union Saint-Gilloise to win and both teams to score – 3.55
This selection has landed in four of Union’s previous five Jupiler Pro League games. There have been an average of 3.5 goals in each of Union’s 12 games, and an average of 3.2 in Club Brugge’s. While Saint-Gilloise have not had a lot of luck in this fixture, they have been by far the better side this campaign and will have all the momentum going into it.
Draw – 3.60
You can never really write off Club Brugge, regardless of their league position and form. Player for player, they still have one of, if not the strongest squad in Belgium. If they turn up on the day they could claim a result.
