Standard Liege vs Club Brugge Prediction & Betting Tips - Jupiler Pro League

Prediction published on 04/08/2024, 03:44  by Sridhar in Jupiler Pro League Predictions

Defending Belgian Pro League champions Brugge will aim for their first win of this league campaign as they travel to Standard Liege this weekend. Match number two of this league season will be played at the Maurice Dufrasne Stadium in Liege on Sunday, and the prediction is that there could be a surprise in store for the visitors.

Standard Liege started the season with a 0-0 draw against Genk, which keeps them just above the four sides that have failed to win in the first round. This result, though, extends their unbeaten start to the season. They are now unbeaten in four games, winning and drawing two matches each.

Interestingly, Standard defeated Brugge 2-1 at this venue last season in the league. Extending that to another win this year could depend on tripping Brugge, who also started their season with a draw. Brugge were held to a 1-1 stalemate in their first league match, where they failed to hold on to their lead.

The worrying factor for the visitors is that the first-match result extended their poor start to the season. Brugge have drawn three and lost one of their five matches so far, winning only one match. While it's too early to talk about losing momentum, Brugge wouldn’t want to fall further behind in the title race, as a loss here could see them lose ground.
