Oostende vs Club Brugge KV Prediction & Betting tips
After two victories against Mouscron and Zulte Waregem, Ostend had to give up again against Standard. It fought well, but went home winless in the end. Club Brugge is now in a rare dip.
Ostend:
Ostend is in a reasonably good season. The first round is almost over and they already managed to bring in some important three-pointers. They won against OH Leuven, KV Mechelen, Mouscron and Zulte Waregem. These are almost all direct opponents at the bottom of the competition. The fact that they could already win against that, makes the mood good for preservation in the Jupiler Pro League.
Ostend is therefore in a nice tenth place in the competition. With fifteen goals scored and only nine against, they even have the second best defense in the country. Only Charleroi does better, with seven goals against. That defense will be desperately needed against Club Brugge if they want to have a chance to win a point. Bruges may be in a dip, it remains the strongest team in the competition.
Club Brugge:
Blue-black is in a lesser period, that much is clear. It could (including the Champions League) no longer win four games in a row. In fact, the last victory in the competition dates back to October 4, a month ago. That was a nice, convincing 3-0 victory against arch-rival Anderlecht, but since then it has not been going so well in the competition. A draw against Standard, lost against OHL and then another draw at home against KV Mechelen.
That can and must be improved. Who will change that? I think Noa Lang can play a key role in this. The young player who has just come over from Ajax has been making a very good impression for weeks in a row. In the league he scored two goals in two games and also against Dortmund he was the absolute star on the field, despite the 0-3 defeat. He was picked up relatively early, maybe it is a sign that he will start against Ostend?
