Excitement is set to peak at Jan Breydel Stadion where Club Brugge and Royale Union SG will clash in a pivotal Jupiler League derby. Club Brugge is on the hunt for their seventh straight league victory, which would bring them nearer to clinching their 19th Jupiler League title. Raphael Onyedika returns to the lineup after a suspension from the Conference League, although Boyata and Meijer are still sidelined due to injuries.
Royale Union SG, on the other hand, recently lost potential points during a stalemate with Anderlecht. Given Club Brugge’s stellar form in the playoffs, it seems unlikely that Alexander Blessin’s squad will secure a win in this derby. The visiting team will be without defender Christian Burgess due to injury, but they face no new injury concerns before their journey to Brugge. The team’s defense will need to be particularly wary of the league’s leading scorer, Hakan Nilsson.
The predicted outcome for this match is a 2-1 victory in favor of Club Brugge.
