Club Brugge KV hosts Eupen in round 19 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 26th at Jan Breydel Stadion (Brugge)
In the last round, Brugge somewhat unexpectedly lost to Gent, which is eighth in the standings. The Blue-Blacks let the second Genk approach them at a distance of two points. However, the surprise was not so much in the loss itself (after all, Brugge played the fifth match in 15 days). I was amazed by the fact that Clement's wards, who scored 35 goals in 18 championship matches, didn’t manage to upset Gent’s goalkeeper. And don’t forget that they scored goals in six rounds of the Champions League, playing against much more difficult rivals than the Buffaloes.

Eupen does not set the Thames on fire. It took 13th place in the last championship. In the current one, the Pandas gained only three victories and conceded 21 goals in 15 rounds (the 12th line in the standings). It is noteworthy, but the team's unbeaten streak amounts to as many as five matches in a row, and two of them even ended with victories. Moreover, the Pandas beat the third Charleroi.
Brugge noticeably got hooked, but who will not do it with such a schedule? The upcoming match will be the seventh in the last three weeks, and in addition to the local championship, the Blue-Blacks played against such tough opponents as Lazio, Borussia Dortmund, and Zenit. Perhaps the leader will not remain without points in the upcoming game, but its usual goal extravaganza is unlikely to happen. Brugge just physically cannot turn on the usual speeds now. And Eupen, as we can see, caught a positive wave. It fights with everyone and even takes points from the leaders. At the same time, the Pandas conceded more than two goals in only one out of eight away league matches. Usually, Bruges easily dealt with Eupen and scored a lot, but now is not the case. The hosts who had an extremely tense schedule in the last three weeks will probably be limited to one or two goals (or won’t score at all). By the way, the last game in Brugge ended in a goalless draw.
Prediction for the match: Club Brugge KV to score under 2.5 goals
