Club Brugge experienced some injury crisis in the past two months, but the team has returned to a very good shape, and they can field a robust lineup against Gent. Ronny Deila’s team has won four of their last five games, and they were able to put three goals past a brilliant Bodo Glimt team. Club Brugge has not lost a single game at home this season and this is a fortress for the hosts, who have won their last three home matches.
Gent has just one win from their last three games, and they have conceded five goals in that period. The visitors don’t have a very good win rate away from home, and chances are high that they will struggle against the Blue Blacks. The Buffalos have lost on their last two visits to the Jan Breydel Stadion, and a bet on the hosts to win is a good option on the Brugge vs Gent predictions.
