Brugge take on the visitors Royale Union SG in the round 20 match of Belgian Jupiler Pro League. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 26th at Jan Breydel Stadion (Brugge)
Brugge are one of the most prestigious and decorated clubs in Belgium. Starting from the 2019-2020 season, they became the country's champion three times in a row but ended up outside the top three last year, finishing in fourth place. Currently, the Black and Blue are also in fourth place in the table. They are six points behind the second spot and already 14 points behind the first. However, Brugge are about to play at home against the league leader. The hosts will be highly motivated, and I have no doubt that they will score at least one goal. In the lineup of the Black and Blue, there are players who can score. For example, the Brazilian Igor has already scored 10 goals in the championship, and the Dane Skov Olsen has scored 8. On average, Brugge players score almost twice as much as the league average. In 19 rounds, the team has only left the field three times without disappointing their opponent.

Having risen to the Super League at the end of the 2020-2021 season, Union became one of the strongest teams in the country. In the first year of the top division, the Apaches almost won the championship. They became the best in the regular part of the season but lost the race for gold to Brugge. A year after the silver awards, they secured the bronze. Now, Union are doing everything to become the champion. They confidently lead the table with an eight-point lead over the closest pursuer, have won 15 out of 19 matches, and score more than anyone else in the league. Only twice in matches involving Brussels' team have their opponents managed to keep a clean sheet. Currently, the team consistently scores at least once per game for 13 rounds of the championship. I believe they will find the net at least once in this crucial battle against Brugge.
What else can we expect in the match between two bright and bold attacking teams? Goals, of course. This is precisely what they consistently do in five consecutive head-to-head matches: 2-2, 1-1, 1-2, 3-1, 1-2. In the current season, both teams have been excellent in attack: Brugge have scored 37 goals in 19 rounds, and Union have scored 43. Neither of the teams is particularly reliable in defense. An exchange of precise shots is the minimum that such strong teams as Union and Brugge can demonstrate in 90 minutes.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
