To make good forecasts, you need to know these things. Today’s prediction for the Union SG vs. Club Brugge game is based on how well they played in the preseason and how they did in earlier games. You may expect a full list of their pros and cons to come next.
Union SG Results
Union SG, who won their first league title since 1935, displayed strength in their preseason training. Even though a lot of players left, their defense stayed strong, giving up only three goals in four friendly. Their recent results give us an idea of how ready they are for the Super Cup.
| Date | Competition | Matchup | Result | Outcome |
| 16/07/25 | CF | Paris FC vs Royale Union SG | 0-1 | W |
| 12/07/25 | CF | Feyenoord vs Royale Union SG | 1-1 | D |
| 05/07/25 | CF | PSV vs Royale Union SG | 1-0 | L |
| 01/07/25 | CF | Royale Union SG vs Union Rochefortoise | 3-1 | W |
| 25/05/25 | JL | Royale Union SG vs Gent | 3-1 | W |
Union SG’s preseason games have been a mix of victories, losses, and ties, with two wins, one tie, and one loss. Their 1-0 win over Paris FC shows how strong their defense is, but their loss to PSV shows that they are weak against opponents that push hard. Scoring in three of four friendlies shows that they are consistently attacking, though not too much. Their 3-1 triumph against Gent in their last league game shows that they can play well when the stakes are high. This means that Union SG will depend on their defense while looking for chances to take advantage of counterattacks.
Club Brugge Results
Even though they didn’t win the league title, Club Brugge won the Belgian Cup last season, showing that they can compete. They scored eight goals in four friendly during the preseason, which was a very good record. These results give us an idea of how well they can attack in the Super Cup.
| Date | Competition | Matchup | Result | Outcome |
| 16/07/25 | CF | Club Brugge KV vs Lok. Zagreb | 3-0 | W |
| 11/07/25 | CF | Club Brugge KV vs Rakow | 1-1 | D |
| 06/07/25 | CF | Rangers vs Club Brugge KV | 2-2 | D |
| 28/06/25 | CF | Club Brugge KV vs Kortrijk | 2-0 | W |
| 25/05/25 | JL | Club Brugge KV vs Antwerp | 1-1 | D |
Club Brugge’s preseason form is good, with two victories and two draws. They scored eight goals, showing how good they are at attacking. The 3-0 win over Lokomotiva Zagreb shows that they can beat weaker teams easily. But the fact that they drew with Rangers and Rakow shows that they have trouble facing clubs with good defenses. The fact that they can score consistently is a good sign for the Super Cup. Still, their weak defense, which shown when they gave up goals in two friendlies, could be a problem against Union SG’s strong defense.
Head-to-Head: Union SG vs Club Brugge
The rivalry between Union SG and Club Brugge has led to some close games in the last few seasons. Their head-to-head history suggests that they generally play close, low-scoring games that are decided by small margins. Looking at these games can help you guess what will happen in the Super Cup final.
| Date | Competition | Matchup | Result |
| 27/04/25 | JL | Royale Union SG vs Club Brugge KV | 0-0 |
| 24/04/25 | JL | Club Brugge KV vs Royale Union SG | 0-1 |
| 22/12/24 | JL | Royale Union SG vs Club Brugge KV | 2-2 |
| 06/10/24 | JL | Club Brugge KV vs Royale Union SG | 1-1 |
| 20/07/24 | SC | Club Brugge KV vs Royale Union SG | 1-2 |
In their last five meetings, Union SG has won two and drawn two, giving them a tiny edge in the head-to-head record. The 2-1 win in the 2024 Super Cup shows that they can beat Club Brugge in important games. Three of the five games saw goals from both teams, which backs up the forecast that both teams will score. The fact that these games had few goals shows that they were close. Union SG’s defense is often too strong for Club Brugge’s attack, which makes it another close game.

Key Factors to Watch
There are a few important things to think about before making a Union SG vs. Club Brugge prediction. The outcome of this football match will depend on things like how well the teams are playing and who is missing. Here are some important things to keep an eye on:
- Union SG’s Strong Defense: They only let in three goals in four friendlies, which shows how strong their defense is and how hard it will be for Club Brugge to score.
- Club Brugge’s Attacking Form: They scored eight goals in four friendlies, which means they are in good attacking shape. Tzolis and Vanaken are two players to watch out for.
- Player Absences: Union SG’s squad depth is lower now that Sadiki, Machida, and Moris are gone, especially in defense and goalkeeping.
- Club Brugge’s Departures: Not having De Cuyper, Jutgla, and Nielsen might break up their midfield and attack.
- Head-to-Head Trends: In the last five games between these two teams, both teams scored in three of them. This means that there is a good chance that both teams will score.
- Motivation: Both sides will be very motivated to win the Super Cup because it is the first game of the season.
- Union SG’s varied performances (2W, 1D, 1L) in the preseason are different from Club Brugge’s unbeaten record (2W, 2D), which shows that the latter is a little more confident.
- Tactical Matchup: Union SG’s 3-4-1-2 could stop Club Brugge’s 4-2-3-1, especially if they take advantage of chances to counterattack.

These recommendations focus on important statistical and situational elements to help you make smart choices. Each tip is based on the details of this Super Cup final:
- Both Teams to Score (BTTS): Expect both clubs to score because three of the last five times they played each other, both teams scored, and Club Brugge scored eight goals in four friendly. This is backed up by Union SG’s consistent scoring in three of their four friendlies.
- Total Goals Over 2.5: Club Brugge has scored eight goals in friendlies, and in the last five head-to-head matchups, three of them had more than one goal. This suggests that the game will be high-scoring.
- Union SG to Score First: Union SG’s strong defense and counterattacking style, as they showed in their 1-0 win against Paris FC, make them likely to take advantage of Club Brugge’s lack of important players early on.
- Corners Over 8.5: Both clubs’ attacking styles, notably Union SG’s wing play and Club Brugge’s wide players like Tzolis, might lead to a lot of set-piece chances, which would raise the number of corners.
- Yellow Cards Over 3.5: Because the Super Cup is so important and Belgian football is so physical, and because recent head-to-heads have been quite close, there is a good chance that more than one player will get a yellow card.

Union SG vs Club Brugge Match Prediction 2025
The Union SG vs Club Brugge odds reflect a closely contested match, with both teams bringing distinct strengths to the Super Cup final. Union SG’s defensive resilience, conceding just three goals in four friendlies, positions them as a tough opponent, especially with their 3-4-1-2 formation designed to absorb pressure and counterattack. They have a mental edge because they beat each other recently, including a 2-1 win in the 2024 Super Cup. But losing important players like Moris and Machida could make the team weaker, especially in goal and central defense.
Even though they are without stars like Jutgla and Nielsen, Club Brugge has been able to score eight goals in four friendlies, thanks to Vanaken and Tzolis. Their 4-2-3-1 formation lets them attack quickly, but their defense has let in goals in two friendlies, so they might have trouble against Union SG’s well-organized defense. The head-to-head history shows that the games were close, with both teams scoring in three of the last five encounters. This suggests that the match will be competitive.
Union SG is likely to keep the game close because they have a strong defense and play at home at Stade Joseph Marien. But Club Brugge’s offensive keeps them a threat. The odds for Union SG vs. Club Brugge say the match will be even, but Union SG’s recent head-to-head wins and strong defense give them a little edge. We think Union SG will win by a close margin, probably by just one goal, since they will take advantage of their counterattacking chances while minimizing Club Brugge’s chances.
