Club Brugge vs Eupen Prediction
Club Brugge's title defence has gone horrendously, as they find themselves out of the Championship playoff spots. The defending champions have to win this game, and also hope that Gent fall to a surprise home defeat to Oostende.
Eupen, meanwhile, are just directly above the drop zone, with one point separating them from 16th-placed Waregem. A win for the Pandas will see them preserve their top-flight status, but they will also be safe by matching Maregem's result.
Brugge are the heavy favourites, but their inconsistency means nothing can be taken for granted. Nevertheless, the hosts should claim a comfortable win and also keep a clean sheet.
