Club Brugge KV vs Leuven Prediction & Betting Tips (7 January)

Club Bruges has not been tamed on the national scene since September 22. Since then, it has been a series of 14 matches without defeat in the championship + cup. Even better, in all competitions, the Belgians have not lost since their defeat at Milan in the Champions League 3-1 on October 22, giving way to a series of 14 matches without a setback tcc 11 wins, 3 draws. The day after Christmas, the Gazzelles got the better of Westerlo in a sensational match 4-3, somewhat correcting their parity score with Union Saint-Gilloise four days earlier 2-2. To talk about the Champions League, casually, Bruges is better positioned than Real Madrid, City or even PSG and can clearly aim for a place among the play-offs at the end of the regular season.

 Louvain is much less spectacular and above all less established at the national level. Only two victories in his image during the last eight matches in the elite, against Charleroi who finished the match at 9 1-0, and just after Christmas against the red lantern Beerschot 2-0. Nothing to brag about for the visitors who still had a great time in the 1/8th final by defeating D2 Zulte-Waregem in style 5-0. Finally, it is mainly on the road where Louvain is struggling with only one victory in all competitions this season. 

Belgian international Maxim De Cuyper is injured and will probably remain with the medical staff accompanied by Bjorn Meijer (Dutch international hopeful), and by Nigerian international Raphael Onyedika (1 goal, 1 assist in the league this season). The crucial Tzolis (7 goals, 4 assists in the championship), the Danish international Skov Olsen (8 pawns, 4 pancakes), or even Vanaken (5 goals, 6 offerings), and the titular goalkeeper Mignolet will be present for this first match of the year 2025. Batavian international hopeful Banzuzi (crucial in the rotation) was injured against Beerschot and could remain on the tarmac for this game (uncertain).

He thus joined the defenders absent for a very long time Pletinckx and Tsoungui in the infirmary without forgetting to mention the midfielder Vlietinck (1 goal in 14 appearances in the league). The leaders will rely on the presence of Ikwuemesi (4 goals in the league) to balance the debates without forgetting the duo Maziz and Ndri shining in the elite (3 pawns each in the league).
