On Tuesday night, Club Brugge will attempt to return to winning ways in the Belgian top-flight, as the champions host Oostende at the Jan Breydelstadion.
The home side has now failed to win in their last three league games, including drawing their last two outings against Waasland-Beveren and last time out against Sint-Truiden. The recent poor run of form has left the champions three points behind league leaders Genk.
Brugge’s recent games in the top-flight have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight matches.
The home side has a strong recent record at the Jan Breydelstadion in the league, as they are unbeaten in six games in the Belgian top-flight, recording five wins in the process.
Brugge’s recent good home form in the league has largely been down to their attacking threat, as they have scored at least two goals in five of their last six league games.
Oostende have enjoyed a mixed start to their league campaign, picking up just 15 points from their first 12 outings in the top-flight.
A recent poor run of form consisting of a four-game winless run means the visitors are ninth place in the league table. Last time out in the league the visitors drew 0-0 at Lokeren.
The draw means that the visitors have now scored just once in their last three league outings. In fact, the visitor’s goal tally for the season of just 14 is the third lowest tally of any team in the Belgian top-flight.
Oostende’s recent away record in the league has been inconsistent. However, they have lost just once in their last five league outings on their travels. Their recent away games in the league have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches.
Forebet predicts that the home side will get back to winning ways in a high scoring encounter.
