Club Bruges vs OH Leuven
Belgium – Jupiler Pro League
Date: Monday, 22 February 2021
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Jan Breydel Stadion.
The Blue-Blacks are the toppers of the competition, and judging the momentum they have built up, they are the potential champions.
They have a lead of 13 points over the second-placed Antwerp, and have a game in hand as well. They have also scored the most number of goals so far, and have conceded the least as well.
In fact, they have scored 55 goals till now, and only one other squad has gone more than 45. They have conceded just 18 goals so far, and only one other team has kept it below 30.
Meanwhile, OHL are a newly-promoted and inconsistent team, that have a worrying h2h record against this rival over the years.
Likely, expect Club Bruges to deliver the winning performance this Monday.
Philippe Clement’s men are on an eleven-game unbeaten run, and impressively ten of these were wins. They have also lost just twice since October, and two of these defeats had come in the Champions League, against Dortmund.
On the other hand, their counterparts were winless in five of their last six matches, and they remained so in nine of their past twelve games.
They have also won just twice on the road since the second week of October, and most importantly, they have a 100% losing record in h2h encounters at this venue over the years.
As such, expect Club Bruges to post the three points on the board this Monday.
