Club Brugge Prediction
Prior to the winter break, second placed Club Brugge had suffered just one defeat from their last five league matches overall in the First Division A which was a surprise 2-1 loss away at Waasland-Beveren, but recent wins against Standard Liege 3-0, a 5-1 thrashing of Antwerp and a 1-0 win away at Lokeren have maintained their position behind Genk at the top of the division.
Club Brugge’s home record stands at an impressive 8-1-1 30/9 and they’ll no doubt be confident that they can record another three points here at lunchtime on Sunday as they look to continue their excellent momentum on home turf.
The hosts have won three of their last four at their Jan Breydelstadion ground while losing just once at home all season, and with midfielder Vanaken (7 goals) along with forwards Schrijvers (8 goals), Wesley (7 goals), Dennis (5 goals) as well as Vossen and Groeneveld (4 goals apiece), there’s plenty of attacking personnel at manager Ivan Leko’s disposal here.
Key-Facts – Club Brugge v Sporting Charleroi
- Club Brugge have won 3 of their last 4 at home
- Club Brugge have lost just once at home all season
- Sporting Charleroi have gained just 1 win from their last 9 on the road
Sporting Charleroi Prediction
Sporting Charleroi sit in a mid-table position in the First Division A as they look to prepare for a difficult return to the second half of the Belgian domestic season following the one month winter break as they look to contain a rampant Club Brugge outfit on Sunday lunchtime.
The visitors suffered back-to-back defeats in the Belgian top flight prior to the break with losses to Zulte-Waregem 3-1 and a 1-0 loss at home to Standard Liege, and although they recorded four wins from their previous five matches, three of these were recorded at their Stade du Pays de Charleroi.
Meanwhile away from home, Sporting Charleroi possess an ordinary looking record of 2-3-5 15/17 which includes just one win from their last nine matches on the road which was a 4-2 win away at bottom club Lokeren, but they’ll have their work cut out to get anything out of Club Brugge in this clash.
Betting Tips Verdict
Club Brugge have been excellent at home this season and should comfortably deal with Charleroi here.
