The already heartfelt aversion between the clubs learned about a year ago once again a major update. At that time, Club Brugge secured just in Liège on the penultimate matchday of the playoffs the title by a 1-1 at the direct pursuers. A draw, which was also due to a controversial hit came about as the compensation preceded a handball by the club player Ruud Vormer. Whether intentional or not, has since been a matter that is still zealously debated.

Bruges:
The reigning champion is a permanent guest in the Jupiler League championship playoffs, finishing second after the regular season. Due to the regulation that the points achieved will be halved after completion, the gap to the first placed KRC Genk melted to four points. As a result, the Flemings have again been auspicious in the race for the crown in the Jupiler League. The start of the championship round, which provides for ten games, also succeeded befitting with a 3-0 home win against KAA Gent in the derby of Flanders. The victory could have been even higher, but Brugge also played an early red card for the guests in the hands. Last Thursday, Bruges scored the next victory. The 3-2 win at Anderlecht was the first win for rival from Brussels in over two decades!
In the match against Liège, the FCB can now also put on his home strength, but in the meantime, in the last few weeks decreased slightly. So Bruges conceded two of his three Heimpleiten in the main season in 2019. With the RSC Charleroi and Royal Excel Mouscron these were also against opponents who did not even make it into the top six for the championship round. However, Bruges has shown at the start of the playoffs in the aforementioned 3: 0 against Gent that this phase of weakness is probably over. Especially the offensive is in the home games as against Ghent usually barely a nakedness. At Bruges against Standard Liege, therefore, the odds for more than 1.5 goals of the hosts are well worth considering. Personnelly plague coach Ivan Lenko furthermore hardly worried, since with the exception of the French defender Benoît Poulain all regular players are on board.
Standard Liège:
The longing for the next title with ten times master is very big. Since the double strike in 2008 and 2009, the fans of the Meuse have to wait a decade for a repeat. Last year it was almost enough due to a great championship round, but in the end three points were missing on Bruges. However, the Walloons had made up a good nine points in comparison to their opponents. The current cup winner started as Bruges with a victory in the current playoffs. Liège beat FC Antwerp at home in Maurice Dufrasne Stadium. However, in the light of the gameplay, the memories of the last year came up again, because the match was shot thanks to a great morale in the last 20 minutes. Playfully superior standard was also anyway.
Last Wednesday, the team of Michel Preud’homme made a guest appearance at KAA Gent and took home the next three with a 2-1 win. A success, but this time it turned out very happy because the Flemish neighbor was at least equal and the decisive goal by the Romanian Razvan Marin fell in the 90th minute, moreover in the form of a penalty. The 22-year-old will not play for the Walloons next season, as his move to Ajax Amsterdam was announced just one day after the match. Especially outside strong Liège has not presented in the regular season otherwise. This is because the Rouges made the best home team, but played away only average on the outside. Only five wins succeeded Liège in the 15 appearances during this phase of the season.
