Club Brugge vs Oostende Live Stats & Betting Odds
Club Brugge Prediction – Can Club Brugge bounce back?
Club Brugge came a cropper away from home at a solid Antwerp outfit in their own backyard last time out in the Belgian First Division A, so the hosts will no doubt be out to prove a point when third from bottom Oostende come to visit on Friday night.
Antwerp handed Club Brugge a 2-1 defeat but tonight’s hosts had previously been unbeaten in the domestic top flight campaign, and having posted a home record of 4-3-0 17/3 to date this term, they’ll be confident of bouncing back against lowly Oostende here.
The hosts have won 3 of their last 4 on home turf at their Jan Breydelstadion with wins against Anderlecht 2-1, Gent 4-0 and Kortrijk 3-0 respectively, while the bigger picture shows that Club Brugge are unbeaten in their last 12 matches at home in the First Division A.
Club Brugge also hold a dominating record over Osotende as the hosts have won all of the previous 5 meetings on the trot and will no doubt be aiming to make it six on the trot here this evening.
Oostende Prediction – Can Oostende gain unlikely win?
It does seem highly unlikely as Oostende head over to Brugge on the back of a poor 10-match sequence without a win in the Belgian top flight, which includes no fewer than 7 defeats and this barren spell has left the visitors third from bottom in the First Division A and a significant 13 points adrift of the top six.
Losing 5 of their last 6 matches overall isn’t the best preparation for a visit to the First Division A leaders, especially as Club Brugge will be determined to bounce back from defeat last time out, and as Oostende have also lost their last 4 away matches on the trot, the visitors are expected to have their work cut out in this Friday night clash.
A poor away record of 1-1-5 6/14 underlines the problems that Oostende have had on their travels, and not just this season either as they’ve managed to register just 1 win out of their last 18 matches away from home in the top flight.
Key-Facts – Club Brugge vs Oostende
- Club Brugge are unbeaten in their last 12 matches at home
- Oostende have won just 1 of their last 18 away matches in the First Division A
- Club Brugge have won the last 5 meetings on the trot against Oostende
Betting Tips Verdict
Club Brugge should therefore record a comfortable win here along with goals featuring too.
