Club Brugge KV vs Antwerp Prediction & Betting tips
We open Football Sunday with a duel between the numbers one and two of the ranking. Leader Club Brugge receives the rival from Antwerp. Visitors can narrow the gigantic gorge a bit.
Club Brugge:
Charles De Ketelaere turned the match against Ghent in favor of Club Brugge with a fine substitute: 0-4. And so the gap is already nineteen points on Antwerp, just before the clash with The Great Old. That means there could be 22 a few match days before the start of the play-offs. That way, even after halving the points, playing play-offs for the title is almost no longer necessary. “Make the playoffs obsolete? We are not working on that, “said De Ketelaere in his reaction after the 0-4 against Ghent. “We mainly wanted to leave the match against Charleroi behind us against Ghent and we succeeded. Now we just want to win against Antwerp. We want to grab as many points as possible as quickly as possible. ”
The prospectus that Club Brugge is obliged to release upon entry to the stock exchange showed that Noah Lang is under contract with blue-black until 2024. For Lang this can certainly not be called a surprise. Blauwzwart hired the Dutchman with a mandatory purchase price of six million euros from Ajax Amsterdam. With thirteen goals and nine assists, he has become one of the absolute trendsetters in the Jupiler Pro League. “This is not news to me,” said Lang. “I signed that contract in October. It was already planned for me, but I’m glad you know it now. It is nice because I also see that the Belgians are happy with it. I am very much appreciated here. And that’s nice. ”
Club Brugge wants to go all out, also in the Jupiler Pro League in the coming years. It already has a winner in mind for this. Jesper Lindstrøm is on the radar of Club Brugge, various Danish media have reported this week. The 21-year-old playmaker comes from the youth of Brondby and has now been playing in the first team since 2019. He already scored nine goals and nine assists this season.
Royal Antwerp:
The top match between Club Brugge and Antwerp is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, but Frank Vercauteren will have to tinker with his team again in the coming days. For example, Jeremy Gelin will not be able to make his comeback yet and some others have to sit out a suspension. Dieumerci Mbokani is not among them. The Congolese striker is nevertheless fit again after a long injury but took his fifth yellow card of the season. Abdoulaye Seck is also not there due to a suspension.
Frank Vercauteren’s contract with Antwerp FC expires at the end of the season. The successor of the departed Ivan Leko, in consultation with the board of the Great Old, chose to sign a short-term contract. The plan is then to see how the collaboration should proceed. According to some sources, it is currently anything but clear whether Antwerp wants to continue with Vercauteren. There are doubts at board level. Undoubtedly to be continued.
Ritchie De Laet has already had a great season as captain. He feels good in Antwerp, despite the varying performances of his team. It is noticeable that, despite the broad core, Vercauteren makes very few switches. “With the formation we play in, we may not use some players where they are at their best. Bruges has had years to work on that, the right players for the right formation. We all have good pla
