The Jupiler Pro League resumes after the international break.
League leaders Union Saint-Gilloise will be looking to extend their lead at the top, but could be somewhat unsettled by a recent change of coach. The reigning Belgian champions have appointed David Hubert as their new manager, replacing Sébastien Pocognoli, who has left to join AS Monaco.
Just behind USG, Club Brugge continue to pile on the pressure with a string of strong results and now sit only three points behind the leaders.
Matchday 11 of the Pro League also features a clash between two struggling sides — Standard Liège and Royal Antwerp — who are both level on points (11).
Here’s an overview of some of this weekend’s fixtures, along with the best bet on football odds and a few betting online tips to help guide your selections. You can also create your own custom accumulator using our Bet Builder tool.
Standard Liège vs Royal Antwerp: Both Teams to Score @ 1.80
It’s an important match for both teams, who are currently in the lower half of the table. Standard, sitting 13th, desperately need to bounce back in front of their home fans, while Royal Antwerp, 12th, will look to build on their encouraging draw against Cercle Brugge in the previous round. This should be a tight contest, but could turn into an open game if both sides push for the win to edge ahead of their rivals in the standings.
Union Saint-Gilloise vs Charleroi: Draw @ 5.00
A risky bet, but one that could pay off. Despite the clear gap in quality between the two teams, the unexpected and chaotic departure of Sébastien Pocognoli to Monaco may have affected Union’s morale. New coach David Hubert has only had a few days to settle in and communicate his ideas. While USG’s ambitions remain unchanged, Charleroi, currently 10th in the league, know this is an opportunity to cause an upset and take advantage of the leader’s transition period.
Club Brugge vs OH Leuven: Club Brugge to Win @ 1.52
For Club Brugge, every game is crucial. Against OH Leuven, a win is almost a must. If they want to stay close to Union Saint-Gilloise, who they actually beat 1-0 on Matchday 10, Brugge need to keep collecting points. With OH Leuven now adjusting to life after David Hubert’s departure, the team could show signs of instability — something that Romeo Vermant and his teammates will look to exploit. The uncertain situation surrounding USG could also play into Nicky Hayen’s hands this weekend if Brugge claim another victory here, especially after their recent win over the defending champions.
Sint-Truiden vs Anderlecht: Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.86
These two sides are separated by just one point in the table, and this encounter promises to be extremely tight. Sint-Truiden tend to play cautiously at home, while Anderlecht, despite their attacking talent, often struggle to break down compact defenses. Considering both teams’ tactical approaches and the stakes involved, betting on under 2.5 goals seems like the most likely outcome.
