Club Brugge vs Anderlecht Preview
A meeting between the two most successful clubs in Belgian football history is always something to get excited about.
Club Brugge are the record winners of this competition with 11 victories, while Anderlecht have lifted the trophy on nine occasions.
Union Saint-Gilloise triumphed last season, so there will be a new team celebrating on the pitch come Sunday.
Both of these sides enter the fixture having picked up crucial wins in the Jupiler Pro League Championship Round on Thursday.
Anderlecht made it three on the spin with a 3-1 success at Royal Antwerp, while Club Brugge thrashed struggling Gent 4-1 to return to the top of the table before USG’s meeting with Genk tomorrow.
So confidence levels will be high in both camps, although Club Brugge’s recent record against Anderlecht is fantastic.
The two teams have met three times in the 2024-25 season and Nicky Hayen’s side have won all three, most recently a 2-0 home win on Matchday 1 of the Championship Round.
Christos Tzolis is also a man in red-hot form, the Greek winger netting a brace in the victory over Gent to take him to six goals in seven play-off matches.
Keeping him quiet will be a top priority for Anderlecht, though they have their own potent attacking weapon in Kasper Dolberg.
The Dane has scored 18 Pro League goals this season and was given a full rest on Thursday in Antwerp.

Club Brugge vs Anderlecht Betting Tips
Under 2.5 goals in the match @ 2.00
We are playing on the fact that cup finals are usually pretty close and tense matches, with goals at a premium.
Under 0.5 goals in the first half @ 2.95
And if you like the sound of that concept but wish to increase the odds, this could be a good avenue to go down.
Club Brugge to win in extra-time @ 9.00
Okay, this is a pretty bold shout. However, if the scores are level at full-time, we like to think that Club Brugge’s additional quality would be enough to steer them to victory in the additional 30 minutes of play.
