- Competition: Jupiler Pro League
- Date: Thursday, 24th April, 2025
- Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CEST
- Venue: Jan Breydel Stadion (Brugge)
On Thursday evening, two in-form teams, Club Brugge and Union Saint-Gilloise, will face off at Jan Breydel Stadion in Brugge.
Club Brugge won the previous league title, their 19th in the club's history. This season, the Blue-Black are doing a fine job again, especially after they suffered elimination in the Champions League 1/8 Finals against Aston Villa. Since then, they have won five in a row and are now at the top spot with 42 points in the Jupiler Pro League Championship Group. Right now, the bookies see them as the favorite to win the title, with the odds of around 2.2.
Union Saint-Gilloise returned to the Belgium top-flight division in 2021/22 and were super close to winning the title in the following three seasons. This year, after a rocky start, "Les Unionistes" are in fantastic form, winning all four games in the Championship Group. Currently, they are in second place with 40 points - only two points away from the first-placed Club Brugge. So, with a potential win over the Blue-Black, they would overtake that top spot.
Club Brugge vs Union Saint-Gilloise pick: Over 2.5 goals
Both teams are in fantastic form, winning all four games in the Championship Group with 11 and 12 scored goals. If we look further back, we can see that Club Brugge won five straight games while averaging three scored goals per game, and Union Saint-Gilloise won eight out of the last nine with an average of 2.7 goals scored per game.
Also, in the previous h2h game, we saw a 2:2 draw. Moreover, four of the last five h2h games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored at least once in all five meetings.
Considering both teams' incredible form and an even better offensive display, along with the trend in the previous h2h games, we expect a high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring once again.

Club Brugge team news
In the previous game against Gent, the team's best goalkeeper, Simon Mignolet, suffered an injury and had to leave the field after 46 minutes. His potential absence could be a massive factor in this game. Also, the players who missed the previous games with injuries should remain sidelined - Joaquin Seys and Jorne Spileers.
Attacking winger Michal Skoras collected his third yellow card in the previous game and will severe his one-game suspension.

Union Saint-Gilloise team news
Attacking winger Ousseynou Niang received his third yellow card in the previous game against Genk and will be suspended. He has been an important part of the rotation but hasn't been too great scoring-wise. In 36 appearances, he only scored three and assisted four.
When it comes to injuries, the team should have almost the entire squad available. Only Sofiane Boufal should be sidelined for the fourth consecutive game due to a muscle injury.
