Update:
Both teams are in the top places of the Belgium league. The difference after 11 rounds is only two points and it shows their power. Regarding goals scored and conceded, they also have similar stats. However, history has favored Brugge in this league. While Royal Antwerp won their last title in 1957, Club Brugge won the last two titles and 4 of the last 6 played. This is definitively the team of the decade and their growth has increased exponentially in the last years.
Usually, these two teams finish the regular season with similar stats, and both advance to the Championship Round. However, when it comes to this decisive stage, Royal Antwerp tends to get poor results. This demonstrates that Antwerp is a strong team in the league, beating most of their rivals with ease. Yet, when it comes to facing other title candidates, they are not strong enough to find the most important victories.
Even when the season is just starting, this is a crucial game for both teams and the victory here can give us a hint of both’s future. In my opinion, Club Brugge will impose its rhythm and they will take the three points in the end.
