Prediction

Lommel United 1-3 Club Brugge

Club Brugge’s squad depth, technical quality and experience should prove decisive away from home. Lommel will be competitive and organised, but the visitors are expected to control possession and create the clearer chances. Over 2.5 goals is also a strong possibility.
