Westerlo – Club Brugge KV : Preview & Prediction
Westerlo is an opponent that Club Brugge enjoys, having lost just once in official competitions since 2000. Club Brugge, who drew with Westerlo (0-0) last season, were on a 7-game winning streak at Het Kuipje in both league and cup. Westerlo were unable to string together a 4th successive win last weekend, after triumphing over Heerenveen (2-0), PAOK (3-2) and Willem II (2-1) in friendly matches. In fact, De Roeck’s side took 1 point from Eupen (2-2) with a late equalizer (90th). The situation is likely to be different against Club Brugge, the 2022 winners of the Jupiler Pro League. Mignolet’s team lost 1-0 in Aarhus, Denmark, on Thursday, but this result has no bearing on Belgium’s qualification for the Europa League Conference semi-finals, following their 3-0 first-leg victory at the Jan Breydel Stadion. On Matchday 1 of the new season, Club Brugge were forced to draw at home to Mechelen (1-1) after De Cuyper was sent off in the 76th minute. Last June, Club Brugge ended the season with an away win at Royale Union SG (1-3). Bis repetita at Westerlo this time?
