Lokeren Prediction
Lokeren occupy the bottom spot in the First Division A ahead of this important clash with high-flying Club Brugge and they come into this encounter having managed just one win from their last six matches overall, which was a 2-0 home win over 5th placed Sint-Truiden.
However, the hosts are still three points adrift of Mouscron and the last remaining Europa League play-off positions, and having suffered recent defeats to Zulte-Waregem, Sporting Charleroi, Oostende and Waasland-Beveren, there doesn’t seem to be much hope of Lokeren taking all three points in this clash.
That said, Lokeren possess a home record of 3-3-4 10/16 which includes just one defeat from their last five matches at their Daknamstadion, which includes recent wins against Eupen and Sint-Truiden.
Club Brugge Prediction
Club Brugge registered a heavy 5-1 win over Antwerp last time out in the Belgian top flight but they still remain seven points adrift of league leaders Genk, and defeats to Zulte-Waregem and Waasland-Beveren in recent weeks have slowed down their progress in chasing down the league leaders.
In addition, Club Brugge are without an away win from their last six matches within an overall away record of 3-4-3 17/13 which includes recent defeats at Standard Liege, Sporting Charleroi and Waasland-Beveren along with draws at Sint-Truiden, Genk and Kortrijk.
However, forwards Schrijvers (8 goals), Wesley (7 goals), Dennis (5 goals), Groeneveld and Vossen (4 goals apiece) provide Club Brugge with at least a very good chance of scoring in this clash.
Incidentally, 7 of Club Brugge’s 10 away matches have seen both teams score.
Betting Tips Verdict
Lokeren are bottom of the league while Club Brugge have really struggled on the road in recent weeks; both teams to score here.
