Westerlo vs Club Brugge Prediction and Betting Tips | August 6, 2023 

Club Brugge visit the Het Kuipje to face Westerlo on Sunday (August 6) in the Belgian Pro League, looking to pick up their first win of the new season.

The Boeren began their campaign with a 1-1 draw to Mechelen last weekend. Rob Schoofs opened the scoring after 38 minutes, but Igor Thiago equalised for Brugge in the 65th minute from the spot. Another 12 minutes later, Maxim De Cuyper was sent off for the home side, who huffed and puffed in vain for a winner.

Ronny Deila's side mustered 21 shots in the game, 12 more than Mechelen, and had five of them on target, boasting 54% possession. Brugge will look to get more efficient on the ball on matchday two and register their first three-pointer of the season.

Westerlo, meanwhile, also drew their first game but fought back from a two-goal deficit to earn a point. Eupen were 2-0 up by the 55th minute, courtesy of a brace from Yentl Van Genechten.

In the 69th minute, De Kemphanen began their comeback as Nicolas Madsen struck a penalty, and in stoppage time, Lucas Stassin forced a share of the spoils.
