Brugge vs. Oud-Heverlee: Belgian Cup match prediction

Current 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.

Disqualifications and injuries

Seis, Ordonez, Romero and Sike are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

• Brugge have won six of their last seven matches
• Brugge have conceded in seven of their last eight matches

Probable line-up: Mignolet - Sike, Mechele, Sabbe, De Kuyper - Jashari, Nielsen, Tsolis, Vanaken, Skov - Nilsson.

Current 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.

• Oud-Heverlee have suffered three defeats against Brugge in their last three matches
