Club Brugge will entertain OHL at Jan Breydel Stadium in the Jupiler Pro League on Monday (December 26).
The hosts have suffered a slump in form and now sit in fourth place on 33 points after 17 games. Brugge have won the league back-to-back since 2019-20, but their title defence could be under threat following a 13-point gap behind leaders Genk. They need to make up lost ground to seal a fourth straight title.
Their head-to-head stats are largely in favour of Blauw-Zwart, who have not lost a league game at home in their last three outings. However, Brugge last tasted victory in early November against Patro Eisden in the Belgian Cup. They have drawn once and lost thrice since then.
The visitors, meanwhile, are coming to the clash off consecutive losses, in the Belgian Cup and in a friendly. OHL have managed seven wins in 17 games, losing six, drawing four and sitting in ninth place on 25 points.
The odds will be against OHL as they travel to Bruges, considering their poor away form (W1, D1, L3) and unconvincing recent showings at the Jan Breydel Stadium. They could drop to tenth if they fumble against Brugge but could leap up to seventh with a win.
