In a Jupiler League matchday 29 matchup on Sunday, Club Brugge and Standard Liege will compete for three points.
In the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round-of-16 match, the hosts suffered a crushing 5-1 defeat to Benfica. The Portuguese team won 7-1 overall thanks to a brace and an assist from Goncalo Ramos.
The loss saw Brugge head out in different directions from chief Scott Parker after only 12 games under the 42-year-old’s stewardship.
In a routine home victory over Westerlo by a score of 2-0 last weekend, Standard Liege earned all five points. William Balikwisha and Aron Donnum scored in either half to lead the way to victory. Both goals received assistance from Noah Ohio.
With 45 points from 28 matches, Liege moved up to sixth place in the table thanks to the victory. Fourth place is one point better for Club Brugge.

Club Brugge vs Standard Prediction :
The only notable highlight of Club Brugge’s season thus far has been their historic UEFA Champions League knockout round qualification. They have parted ways with two different coaches due to their poor domestic form, which has resulted in a timid title defense.
Standard Liege, who have largely been inconsistent throughout the season, has been pretty much the same.
As they vie for a spot in the top four, both teams are likely to go all out for the victory. The fact that Club Brugge have yet to appoint a manager could hurt their chances of winning. In a high-scoring game, we favor sharing the spoils.
Prediction: Club Brugge 2-2 Standard Liege
