Club Brugge are looking to keep their Jupiler Pro League title hopes alive when they visit Anderlecht on Sunday.
Nicky Hayen’s side sit just one point behind leaders Union Saint-Gilloise with two rounds of matches left to play in the exciting Championship Round.
Defeat could spell the end for Club Brugge, while a win could propel them to glory – providing USG drop points at Royal Antwerp!

Anderlecht vs Club Brugge Preview
Anderlecht will be looking for revenge in this contest after losing the Croky Cup final.
Club Brugge won the fixture 2-1 thanks to a brace from Romeo Vermant, with Luis Vazquez’s stoppage-time goal little more than a consolation.
The result saw a continuation of Club Brugge’s recent domination over their fierce rivals.
Anderlecht have lost the last four meetings with Hayen’s men, including the 2-0 defeat in Bruges on Matchday 1 of the Championship Round.
But Anderlecht have at least found some positive form in recent weeks after a shocking start to the play-offs.
Last weekend’s 1-0 loss to USG brought an end to a three-match winning run in the Pro League, so there is hope of achieving a positive result here.
And with Kasper Dolberg in the XI, anything is possible!
The Danish striker is back fully fit and boasts a record of 18 goals in 29 Pro League matches this season.
Club Brugge will be well aware that Dolberg can end their title dreams, though they have potent attacking weapons of their own.
Christos Tzolis and Hans Vanaken remain two of the division’s finest offensive-minded players, while strikers Vermant and Ferran Jutgla have not found goals hard to come by of late.

Anderlecht vs Club Brugge Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.64
The odds are not crazy here, but this feels like a pretty sensible bet to make. With Dolberg lurking up front, Anderlecht always stand a chance of scoring on home soil, while Club Brugge are the Pro League’s leading goal-getters with 82.
Over 8.5 corners @ 1.55
Again, the odds here are fairly low, but we would be shocked if this selection does not come in. The last two meetings between Anderlecht and Club Brugge have seen over 8.5 corners, with a total of 11 in the Croky Cup final just two weeks ago.
Club Brugge to win and over 2.5 goals in the match @ 2.50
And when all is said and done, we can see a similar outcome to that seen in the Croky Cup final – which, in case you missed it, was a 2-1 win for Club Brugge.
