August 21st features a match where Club Brugge plays host to Kortrijk in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Pro League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Club Brugge is fresh off their 3-0 shutout win against OH Leuven. Marco Lund Nielsen scored the first goal for Club Brugge in the 33rd minute, then Ferran Jutglà added another in the 42nd minute In the end, OH Leuven was frustrated by Club Brugge’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Club Brugge ended the match with the shutout victory. Club Brugge is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while kortrijk sits at 14th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-2 loss against Union Saint-Gilloise. Teddy Teuma struck first for Union Saint-Gilloise in the 9th minute on a penalty, then Teddy Teuma added another in the 58th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Club Brugge won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Kortrijk is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Pape Guèye and Amine Benchaib each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Club Brugge is fortunate enough to have Ferran Jutglà in top form. In the last five matches the midfielder has scored 4 goals.
