RWD Molenbeek vs Club Brugge Prediction and Betting Tips | December 22nd 2023

The Belgian Jupiler League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as RWD Molenbeek and Club Brugge go head-to-head at the Edmond Machtens Stadium on Friday.

Ronny Deila’s men cruised to an emphatic 7-1 victory in August’s reverse fixture and will be looking to complete the double over the home side.

RWD Molenbeek returned to winning ways in the Jupiler League when they picked up a 3-0 victory over Sint-Truidense last Saturday.

Prior to that, Cláudio Cacapa’s side lost two of their previous three league matches, with a goalless draw against Sporting Charleroi on December 2 sandwiched between the two defeats.

With 21 points from 18 matches, Molenbeek are currently 11th in the league standings but could move into eighth place with all three points this weekend.

Meanwhile, Club Brugge continued their push for a championship round spot last time out when they picked up a 2-0 victory over 10-man KAA Gent.

Deila’s men have now gone nine consecutive games without defeat, a run which saw them finish first in Group D of the UEFA Europa Conference League.

With 30 points from 18 matches, Club Brugge are currently seventh in the Jupiler League standings but could rise as high as third place with a win on Friday.
