Westerlo vs Club Brugge Prediction
Westerlo started the season with three successive wins in their opening three games. However, that has proven to be a false start for De Kemphanen as they have won just one game since then.
Club Brugge's title defense has not gone to plan and they are seven points behind table-toppers Genk. However, they have a good overall record in this fixture and have won on five of their last six visits to this stadium.
We are backing Nicky Hayen's side to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
