The game
Next Sunday afternoon, Club Brugge will host Oud-Heverlee Leuven in its final home game. It is the 16th meeting in the Jupiler Pro League between the two teams.
Club is still unbeaten at home against OHL. It won 5 times (last time 3-2 on 22/02/2021) and played 2 draws (last time on 26/12/2022).
But the last 2 duels at Jan Breydel ended in a 1-1 draw each time. Last season, on Boxing Day, a goal by Ferran Jutglà was still erased in added time by Nachon Nsingi.
Club's Spanish striker was able to get some revenge this season. Jutglà provided the only goal of the match (0-1) at Den Dreef with a beauty, following a pass from Tajon Buchanan. It was already his third goal against OHL. No Club player ever did better against the Leuveners.
Of the last 12 mutual duels, Club lost only once (9W 2D): a 2-1 defeat on October 24, 2020 in Leuven.
With 16 goals, Igor Thiago is still Club's top shooter. Although, due to injuries and suspensions, it has been since Jan. 30 that he was able to score in the league.
Maxim De Cuyper is the assist king with 7 assists. However, he is missing Sunday due to a suspension.
Coach Deila cannot count on Raphael Onyedika either. He received his 5th yellow card of the season in Genk.
Hans Vanaken is the player who distributed the most successful passes (459) at the opponent's half in the entire Jupiler Pro League.
It might be a special match for Nordin Jackers. The Limburg goalkeeper is on loan from OHL to Club Brugge and may be playing for the 2nd league match in a row against an ex-team.
Club Brugge is third in the ranking with 48 points and needs 1 more point to be sure of its 14th participation in the Champions Play-Offs/Play-Off 1.
If Club wins, it will triumph in its last home match of the regular league for the 5th year in a row. The last time Club failed to win its last home match was a 1-2 defeat against Excel Mouscron in March 2019.
