CLUB BRUGGE v ZULTE-WAREGEM

Football – Belgium – Jupiler League Betting Tips
The Jan Breydelstadion is the venue for my next pick as hosts and Belgian Jupiler League leaders Club Brugge take on third placed Zulte-Waregem in Friday night’s encounter with a valuable three points on offer for both teams.
Club Brugge bounced back from a 1-0 loss away from Lokeren when they registered a 2-1 win away at Westerlo last weekend to remain top of the Belgian top flight, albeit by goal difference ahead of Anderlecht, while Brugge’s overall home record has been impressive throughout this campaign to date.
A home record of 11-2-0 32/10 on home turf has given tonight’s hosts real hope of securing a domestic league title, and they should now make another appearance on the european stage next season as they chase a Championship round spot.
Visitors Zulte-Waregem sit in third place and are five points adrift of their opponents Club Brugge as they head into this vital clash, looking to upset the hosts and move closer to the top of the division.
However, recent results have shown an inconsistent side to the visitors as they’ve suffered defeats to fellow Championship Round contenders Sporting Charleroi and Anderlecht (both away from home), as well as draws against Mechelen and Gent along with wins over Mouscron and Sint-Truiden.
Zulte-Waregem’s away record is also very up-and-down with stats of 6-2-5 23/22 while their record away from home against top half opposition reads a poor 1-1-4 8/14 and this perhaps indicates further problems on the road at Club Brugge tonight.
Pick: Club Brugge AH-1 @ 1.61 Bet Victor
