Club Brugge’s title defense was over before it started and their implosion means they are not part of the teams contesting for the title in the home run. Instead, we have a thrilling three-horse race at the summit, with Royal Antwerp currently leading the way.
The Reds are seeking a fifth league title and the first since 1957. A win here would solidify Mark van Bommel’s side’s quest for a league crown.
