Club Brugge KV vs Oostende Prediction & Betting tips
There are only a few kilometers between Bruges and Oostende, but from a footballing point of view the gap is considerable. The hosts are the runners-up and have won the title 15 times. Only the RSC Anderlecht can top this yield – although with more than twice the number very clearly.
The FCB is currently enthroned again at the top of the table. However, had to be taken before the recent international break the first season defeat at the Derby in Antwerp. Nevertheless, the Flemish have a comfortable lead of five points on the buffaloes from Ghent after half of the regular season.
Of so far only one defeat is far away on the North Sea coast in Ostend: Already nine of the 15 league games were lost. Third is the KV one of the weakest team in the Jupiler League. The sporty descent from recent years continues unabated.
In the match between Bruges and Oostende, the tip still aims to ensure that the guests lose a maximum of three goals difference. In addition, at least two hits of the hosts can be predicted. A shooting festival is not to be expected this time because the kickers from the canal city will save their energy. The reason is the all-important Champions League match next week.
It decides whether the FCB can claim third place against Galatasaray, whereby the international business would continue at least in the Europa League. The Brugge against Oostende forecast goes hand in hand with five units.
Bruges:
Just over a week ago, the Blue-Blacks celebrated their 128th birthday. For the third oldest club in the country, there is often reason to be in a good mood.
In the Jupiler League, the first place is taken, which is why there is a great hope that the next title at the end of the season can be retracted. The upcoming match at the Jan Breydel Stadium will probably be contested, as mentioned, but in a few days a crucial match in the premier class in Istanbul at Galatasaray is pending.
Although this is only about the third place, but in Bruges one would of course like to spend the winter in Europa League.
The new coach Philippe Clement, who has been kicked off by the Genk champion, will also have to draw on some players who have kicked the ball during their international break for their respective nations. An example is the attacker Percy Tau. The 25-year-old was in South Africa qualifying for the next edition of the Africa Cup.
This also applies to his offensive colleague Hans Vanaken. The two-year-older player was allowed to play in the last European Championship qualifier of the Belgians last Tuesday over the full distance against Cyprus. However, he scored no goal, while the remaining Red Devils let it crash once again in the 6-1 home win in Brussels.
Ostende:
Oostende joined the Jupiler League six years ago. Initially, the coastal club moved quite inconspicuously with two tenth places in the midfield, but then the KV began to fly high.
Fourth and fifth were even sniffed at the Europa League, failing first to the UEFA criteria for participation and 2017 missed the qualification against Marseille in the third round. As fast as it went up, so deep was the following case in the recent past.
In the previous year, only the 14th place jumped out and currently the same rank is occupied. Of course, in a league with 16 teams, this is not very pleasing for the “Kustboys”. The squad is now only weakly occupied and coach Kare Ingebrigsten, who took over the office until the summer, must also currently do without some players.
Amongst others, Croatian newcomers Ante Palaversa from Haiduk Split and Robbie D’Haese fall in midfield. Especially abroad, Oostende has presented this season predominantly only as willing points supplier. The kickers from the North Sea started with a victory at the champions in Brussels, followed by no more threesome.
Instead, it put down no less than five defeats. Once, at least one point could be obtained by a draw at Kortrijk. Primarily the offensive is a problem abroad. So scored six away matches in seven away games. In the recent games at Waregem and St. Truiden arrive at the respective bankruptcies no goals.
In view of these figures, it is hardly surprising that the Bruges tend towards Ostend quotas unambiguously towards a home win.
