Westerlo vs Club Brugge Predictions

• Westerlo are hoping to build on their seventh-placed finish last term
• Club Brugge won just six of their 17 regular season away trips
• The visitors have won just twice in their last 11 away games

Distraction for Brugge

Despite a 1-0 loss to AGF on Thursday, Brugge remain in the Conference League qualifiers and that could hurt them in the early stages of the domestic season. They started their league campaign with a 1-1 draw with Mechelen last weekend and they face a tricky visit to Westerlo on Sunday.

The visitors are up against KA in the next round of Conference League qualifying on Thursday and they could have one eye on that crucial home leg.

Westerlo building on promising return

The hosts returned to the Belgian top-flight last season, posting a solid seventh-place finish in their first year back at the level. They will be aiming to kick on this term, which could be a problem for Club Brugge.

The visitors won just six of their first 17 away trips last season and they’ve won just twice across their last 11 trips in all competitions. With the prospect of Europe on the horizon it’s tough to get behind Brugge in this clash, so back a Westerlo side who drew their opener to avoid defeat once again.
