Command Analysis
Club Brugge
Brugge is doing well not only on the national stage, but also in European competitions. In the Champions League, the club started with a home defeat to Aston Villa (2:3), but then managed to win over Inter Milan (4:3) and over Lens (3:0). In the championship, the hosts have so far lost only to Gent (1:2), and the rest of the matches have ended in victories. The club is in second place in the standings, one point behind Gent.
St.Truiden
Saint-Truiden became the biggest sensation of the Belgian Premier League last season, where they finished in third place. Such successes are not to be dreamed of now. The club occupies only the 13th place, having eight points in the asset after eight matches. The guests also perform in the Conference League, where they managed to beat Iberia 1999 (2:0) and Midtjylland (1:0) dry. So far, only Antwerp (4:1) and La Louvier (4:0) have managed to beat in the domestic championship.
Bruges continues its pursuit of Ghent, so you can't lose tournament points. The hosts have been playing great in all tournaments and giving their opponents no chance. Saint-Truiden is in the bottom half of the standings and cannot start steadily gaining points in the championship. It is unlikely that the series of defeats will be interrupted in an away match with one of the grandees of Belgian football.
Our betting tip is for an Asian handicap (-1.5) on Bruges in 1.83
