Bruges – Statistics & Current Form
Just over a week ago, the Blue-Blacks celebrated their 128th birthday. For the third oldest club in the country, there is often reason to be in a good mood.
In the Jupiler League, the first place is taken, which is why there is a great hope that the next title at the end of the season can be retracted. The upcoming match at the Jan Breydel Stadium will probably be contested, as mentioned, but in a few days a crucial match in the premier class in Istanbul at Galatasaray is pending.
Although this is only about the third place, but in Bruges one would of course like to spend the winter in Europa League.
The new coach Philippe Clement, who has been kicked off by the Genk champion, will also have to draw on some players who have kicked the ball during their international break for their respective nations. An example is the attacker Percy Tau. The 25-year-old was in South Africa qualifying for the next edition of the Africa Cup.
This also applies to his offensive colleague Hans Vanaken. The two-year-older player was allowed to play in the last European Championship qualifier of the Belgians last Tuesday over the full distance against Cyprus. However, he scored no goal, while the remaining Red Devils let it crash once again in the 6-1 home win in Brussels.
Expected formation of Bruges:
↳ Mignolet – Mechele – Kossounou – Deli – Sobol – Balanta – Vormer – Tau – Okereke – Vanaken – Schrijvers

Ostend – Statistics & Current Form
Oostende joined the Jupiler League six years ago. Initially, the coastal club moved quite inconspicuously with two tenth places in the midfield, but then the KV began to fly high.
Fourth and fifth were even sniffed at the Europa League, failing first to the UEFA criteria for participation and 2017 missed the qualification against Marseille in the third round. As fast as it went up, so deep was the following case in the recent past.
In the previous year, only the 14th place jumped out and currently the same rank is occupied. Of course, in a league with 16 teams, this is not very pleasing for the “Kustboys”. The squad is now only weakly occupied and coach Kare Ingebrigsten, who took over the office until the summer, must also currently do without some players.
Amongst others, Croatian newcomers Ante Palaversa from Haiduk Split and Robbie D’Haese fall in midfield. Especially abroad, Oostende has presented this season predominantly only as willing points supplier. The kickers from the North Sea started with a victory at the champions in Brussels, followed by no more threesome.
Instead, it put down no less than five defeats. Once, at least one point could be obtained by a draw at Kortrijk. Primarily the offensive is a problem abroad. So scored six away matches in seven away games. In the recent games at Waregem and St. Truiden arrive at the respective bankruptcies no goals.
In view of these figures, it is hardly surprising that the Bruges tend towards Ostend odds unambiguously towards a home win.
Expected formation of Ostend:
↳ Dutoit – Skuslason – Sane – Faes – Bataille – Vandendriessche – Canesin – Jonckheere – Hjulsager Sylla – Sakala

Oostende has for some years with the Versluys Arena a fancy stadium, which is located only a few meters from the North Sea beach. But as modern as it is small with a capacity of less than 9,000 spectators. Meanwhile, however, the claims have been cut back accordingly at the KV.
After the almost complete retreat of the industrialist Marc Coucke, who no longer acts as president and skin shareholder, it is also downhill athletic. It certainly plays a role here, that now the financial resources are less available. The team is weak and has taken in the season so far a continuous place in the table cellar.
