Head-to-head: RAAL have had the upper hand lately

The two recorded meetings both came last season, and RAAL won both: 1-0 at home and 3-2 away at Brugge. That's a small sample, though, and it doesn't reflect either side's form from a year ago necessarily matching where they are now.

It's a useful reminder that recent head-to-head results don't always line up with the current league picture.

Where they stand this season

In the current Belgian Pro League table, Brugge sit third with 18 points from seven games: six wins, one loss, no draws, and a goal difference of plus 12. RAAL are down in 14th with just four points from seven, having won once, drawn once and lost five times.

That's a wide gap in points and goal difference this season alone, separate from any older form samples.

Key men to watch

RAAL's main goal threat has been M. Ubandoma, with five goals in seven matches, well clear of anyone else in this sample. Brugge spread their scoring more evenly, with N. Tresoldi and H. Vetlesen both on three goals in seven, and Carlos Forbs and J. Seys each contributing three assists.

How this could play out

On the numbers, Brugge look the more complete side going forward and defensively this season, while RAAL have leaked goals regularly. That points towards a game where the away side create plenty and could well come away with the points.

But the head-to-head record shows RAAL are capable of causing an upset against this opponent, even from a difficult position in the table. Games like this can still throw up goals at both ends if RAAL's defensive issues persist against Brugge's attacking options.
