Anderlecht vs Club Brugge Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast
For both teams to be crowned champions, the next two matches will be decisive
It has been impressive for Anderlecht in the last couple of matches, earning them the title favourites. Their fate will be determined by the matches against Club Brugge and Royal Antwerp they play in the coming weeks. Last week, they defeated Genk and levelled with Club Brugge on points in the Jupiler Pro League. It will be hard for them to do so without the ever-dependable Vertonghen and the Belgian maestro Thorgan Hazard.
Club Brugge have been impressive this season with the team looking set to win the title if they manage to win the next two games. They are level on points with Anderlecht, with both teams collecting 46 points each. In order to win the next match against Cercle Brugge, they need to win the first match with Anderlecht. A 3-4 aggregate result made it difficult for them to advance to the semi-final of the Europa League against Fiorentina.
