Club Brugge and Union St Gilloise set for first head to head battle for the Pro League title
Club Brugge and Union St Gilloise will face each other this weekend in what will be one of the deciding matches in who will win the Belgian Pro League title. Defending champions Union will be the home side and currently have a slender one point lead over their Brugge rivals.
So far this season, in the two matches the sides have already played, it has been the home team that has taken victory. Club Brugge travelled to Union at the beginning of February and lost 1-0 thanks to a goal from Algerian midfielder Adem Zorgane. Defeat could really dent their title hopes and would give Union the momentum going into the return leg.
Union are hunting for a second Pro League title as well as a domestic cup. In a few weeks time they will face city rivals Anderlecht in the cup final. That following weekend, they will face Club Brugge. Depending on the result from this weekend, the side could win both the cup and league in the same week.
So far, both sides have won their opening two fixtures in the play-offs, yet neither of their results have been convincing. Union, who are short of strikers thanks to injuries to Promise David and Raul Florucz, beat both Sint Truiden and KV Mechelen 1-0. They have recovered Kevin Rodriguez at least, so his return to fitness and form would be very welcome.
