Coming into this match, KVC Westerlo had not won at home in their last 4 league matches.
A review of their previous head-to-head matches since 17/02/2017 shows that Club Brugge has won 4 of these matches and KVC Westerlo 1, with the number of drawn matches being 1.
An aggregate of 12 goals were scored between the two teams in this period, with 8 of them for Blauw-Zwart and 4 for De Kempeneers. That means the average goals per match is 2.

Maxim De Cuyper (Achilles tendon problem), Bjorn Meijer (hamstring strain) and Raphael Onyedika (adductor pain) will not play for Club Brugge manager Nicky Hayen.
It seems that Blauw-Zwart could use a 4-2-3-1 system in the match with Simon Mignolet, Kyriani Sabbe, Joel Ordóñez, Brandon Mechele, Hugo Siquet, Casper Nielsen, Ardon Jashari, Andreas Skov Olsen, Hans Vanaken, Christos Tzolis, and Gustaf Nilsson.
KVC Westerlo manager Timmy Simons will have to choose from a squad that has some fitness issues. Rubin Seigers (impact) and Mathias Fixelles (minor injury) are not yet available for selection.
We tend to think that De Kempeneers will most likely use a 4-2-3-1 system, fielding Nick Gillekens, Bryan Reynolds, Luka Vuskovic, Emin Bayram, Tuur Rommens, Alfie Devine, Dogucan Haspolat, Jordan Bos, Arthur Piedfort, A. Sayyadmanesh, and T. Van Den.(source: Sportsmole)
Prediction
In this match, KVC Westerlo was certainly capable of scoring against this Club Brugge side, but that was unlikely to prevent them from conceding a few goals on the other end.
We predict that this will be a very tight match with a 2-1 scoreline for Club Brugge at the end of the game. This is a very difficult decision.
Club Brugge vs Westerlo Score Prediction: 2-1
