LiontipsBrugge vs Antwerp. Prediction and bets on the Belgian Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Club Brugge have had a poor start to the season. The current Belgian champions and Conference League semi-finalists first lost the Super Cup match to Union (1:2), and then had a terrible start to the championship. In the first round, the club let a home win slip away in a match with Mechelen (1:1), and then lost to Standard (0:1) and Genk (2:3). It’s time for the hosts to get back into shape if they want to defend their title.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bjorn Meyer, Victor Barbera and Kirjan Sabbe will miss the upcoming match due to injuries
Interesting trends for betting
- Club Brugge have been winless for four games in a row
- Brugge have not conceded in the first half in their last three matches
Probable line-up : Mignolet - Sike, Mechele, Ordonez, De Kuyper - Vetlesen, Onidika, Noosa, Vanaken, Skov Olsen - Nilsson.

1.67Tip and bets
The hosts have suffered three defeats in their last four matches, but their opponents were also quite strong - Union, Standard and Genk. Antwerp can also show good football, but matches with high-status opponents are rarely successful for the visitors. Home advantage should help Brugge finally get their first win of the season.
Our prediction is Brugge win at 1.88
Bet on total
Antwerp showed excellent implementation in the last match, and it is time for the hosts to improve their attacking game in order to join the fight for the title. We believe that both teams will please with a productive performance in the face-to-face match.
Bet - total over 2.5 goals. This outcome is offered for 1.78
Bet on corners
Brugge are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking, but the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Union. This bet is offered for 2.17
