Club Brugge
BelgiumCurrent form
Brugge approached the start of the season as the main contender for the championship title and, in general, they have lived up to this status, although they lacked stability in the first part. At the moment, Nicky Heyen's team is in second place in the table with 41 points and is one point behind the leader Genk, Anderlecht is eight points below and does not pose much of a threat yet. In the last round, Brugge beat Westerlo 4:3 at home with some difficulty, thus achieving their 12th victory of the season.

Seis, Ordonez, Romero and Sike are injured.

OH Leuven
BelgiumCurrent form
For objective reasons, Oud-Heverlee could not set more ambitious goals than maintaining their place in the elite, and the selection of players did not allow them to count on more. So far, Chris Coleman's team is coping with its task and is in 11th place in the table with 25 points, already four points clear of the relegation zone - such a handicap allows one to look to the future with optimism. In the last round, Oud-Heverlee beat Beerschot 2:0 at home, thus achieving their second victory in the last three rounds of the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tsoungi, Verstraete and Vletinck are injured.

2.27Tip and bets
Brugge is undoubtedly the favorite of the match - the hosts have a huge advantage in class and experience. The black and blues are approaching the upcoming match in great shape and will also have plenty of motivation in the quarterfinals, and the hosts' coach is unlikely to go for a serious rotation in such an important match. Oud-Heverlee has been looking good lately, but it will be difficult to count on success against an opponent like Brugge, the black and blues have won the last three matches, they will probably justify their status as favorites without any problems today.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Brugge . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.61
Bet on total
Brugge will obviously play aggressively today, in front, as the first number - the opponent is significantly inferior in class and the hosts will try to solve everything in regular time, there is no need for extra effort in such a busy schedule. The black and blues score a lot and regularly, they play home matches especially well in attack, it is unlikely that the guests have a chance to play to zero. At the same time, Brugge has plenty of mistakes in defense and Oud-Heverlee will also probably take risks, an exchange of goals in such a situation is almost inevitable.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.85
Bet on corners
Brugge are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking - the home team should win confidently on corners.
