Club Brugge vs Oostende Predictions

Club Brugge lost 2-1 away at European hopefuls Antwerp before the international break and will be demanding a response from their players this Thursday. Oostende’s poor form continued last time out when they were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Royal Excel Mouscron, making it ten league games without a win.

All of the stats suggest that Club Brugge will claim all three points and keep a clean sheet this Thursday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0.

Club Brugge have won each of their last five matches against Oostende and two of their last three victories have been accompanied by clean sheets. Club Brugge have scored at least two goals against Oostende in the pairs’ last five encounters and beat Oostende 2-0 in the pairs reverse fixture in August, so you can start to see why we’ve backed the hosts to win to nil on Thursday as well.

The form of the two clubs only adds weight to our prediction for a home win, as Club Brugge are unbeaten at home in the league this season while Oostende have lost five league games away from home this season.

The performances of both clubs this season provides plenty of reasons to back a win to nil in favour of the hosts this Thursday, as Club Brugge have kept two clean sheets in their last four matches and Oostende have failed to score in three of their last four matches. The hosts have kept nine clean sheets in the league this season and Oostende have failed to score in five of their league games. The visitors have conceded two or more goals in nine league games this season while Club Brugge have scored two or more goals in nine First Division A games, which is why we have backed a 2-0 win for the hosts this Thursday.

We’re confident that Club Brugge will win to nil on Thursday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. The hosts head into the game as the form favourites but have been playing at their very best of late. However, Oostende head into this match in terrible form and have struggled to score goals this month, which is why we have backed the home side to win and keep a clean sheet on Thursday.
