This could be an interesting match as Mechelen have their presumed home advantage while Club Brugge are ahead 3 points in the Pro League table.

Club Brugge could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Belgian Cup game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Francs Borains, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Club Brugge.

Club Brugge form and stats

Club Brugge are yet to lose a point on their Pro League travels this season with 3 wins from 3 away games. Having won their last three away games Club Brugge has no reason to fear anyone.

It's the second away game in a row for Club Brugge, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Francs Borains in the Belgian Cup last time out. Before that, Club Brugge secured a home win against Anderlecht with the score 2-1.

The schedule is very tough for Club Brugge now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Champions League game at Real Madrid is waiting in only three days.

Club Brugge have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 7 goals from 3 away matches. Club Brugge's manager P. Clement has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head
