Jupiler Pro League prediction: who will win the Belgian championship?

The last two seasons have been terrific and full of suspense, needing right up until the final seconds of the last day to decide the title. The Jupiler Pro League looks set to be hotly contested once again this year, both at the top of the standings as well as at the bottom, right up to the end of the 2024-2025 season!

Many of Belgium's legendary clubs will be vying not only for the top spot, but also to stamp their tickets for European football (Champions League, Europa League and Conference League), as well as the right to remain in the Belgian top flight.

For the title, Club Brugge were the bookmakers' favorite at the start of the season. Two years ago, despite superb performances in the Champions League, the Blue-Black failed to win the domestic title despite having won 3 titles in a row. They were able to return to their best in the 2023-24 season, capturing the league title by a single point over runners-up Union Saint-Gilloise.

Again this season, clubs like Anderlecht, Genk and Union Saint-Gilloise should also have something to say, in our opinion. But, for the time being, we give the edge to the defending champions from Bruges. Our Jupiler Pro League prediction: Club Brugge Belgian champions 2024-2025!

Football prediction on the Top 2 of the Jupiler Pro League: who will qualify for the Champions League?

This season, in addition to the future champion, the team finishing second after the championship playoffs phase will have the chance to secure a spot in the Champions League for the 2025-26 campaign (third qualifying round).

In our opinion, Anderlecht have what it takes to achieve this runner-up spot. Indeed, the Brussels club had a superb season last year after many years of disappointment, finishing 3rd, and we think they're in with a chance. Our prediction is as follows: Anderlecht to finish second in the Jupiler Pro League 2024-25!

Which JPL club will qualify for the Europa League?

The eventual third-placed Jupiler Pro League club following the championship playoffs will qualify for the UEFA Europa League for the 2025-26 season (second qualifying round). And, in this fight to qualify for Europe’s second-tier competition, we're likely to find a number of JPL clubs, including Antwerp, USG, Genk and La Gantoise.

We'd give a slight edge to Union SG, who have been competing for the title in Belgium for a number of years now, coming very close, but never quite reaching the summit. Our prediction: Union Saint-Gilloise to qualify for the Europa League!

Which JPL club will qualify for the Conference League?

As for the third European Cup, the club finishing 4th in this year's Jupiler Pro League will be entitled to take part in the next UEFA Europa Conference League (play-off for the second qualifying round). And this cup is not taken lightly by Belgian teams, as La Gantoise and Anderlecht reached the quarter-finals two years ago, while Brugge reached the semi-finals last year!

As you can see, taking part in a European Cup remains a major goal for many Belgian clubs. It should be noted that the winner of the cup also qualifies. As with the Europa League qualification, it's still very difficult to make a prediction for November 2024, but we'd give Genk a slight edge, as their experience and quality players could put them in the running. Our prediction: Genk to qualify for the Conference League!

Relegation prediction: which Jupiler League club will go down?

At the very bottom of the standings, the battle is quite different. Many clubs are fighting to avoid dropping to the Challenger Pro League the following season. Once again this season, the fight for survival in the Belgian top flight will be fiercely contested.

The clubs ranked 15th and 16th at the end of the relegation playoff phase will face the drop to the second division for the 2025-26 season, while the 14th-placed club will enter into a playoff against a Challenger Pro League club for a final chance of staying up. Clubs will therefore want to avoid these last three places, especially the last two. Several clubs will be involved in this struggle but we can imagine the following prognosis: Beerschot, Dender and Charleroi in the bottom three!

Prediction Jupiler Pro League - odds for the favourites for relegation

• Beerschot - 1.25
• Kortrijk - 2.40
• Cercle Brugge - 4.00
• Sint-Truiden - 5.00
• FCV Dender - 8.00
• OH Leuven - 11.00
• Charleroi - 16.00
• KV Mechelen - 16.00
• Standard Liege - 16.00

• Kasper Dolberg (Anderlecht)
• Ferran Jutglà (Club Brugge)
• Vincent Janssen (Royal Antwerp)
• Andreas Skov Olsen (Club Brugge)

• Anders Dreyer (Anderlecht)
• Gustaf Nilsson (Union Saint-Gilloise)
• Tarik Tissoudali (KAA Gent)
• Aboubakary Koita (Sint-Truiden)

JPL's top scorer last year with 27 goals, Kévin Denkey will have to fight hard to retain his title in this new edition. The competition looks stronger than ever. However, the Togolese player remains our favorite to win the title for a second year running!

• Tolu Arokodare - 3.00

Beginners Guide to how the Jupiler Pro League works

The Jupiler Pro League, Belgium's top division football league, has a whole new format this season. The JPL brings together the 16 best Belgian teams (18 last year), through a system of home and away matches, then playoffs.

Between July and May, each team meets an opponent twice, once at home and once away, then competes in the playoffs. In total, 30 days are on the calendar during the regular season, then it varies according to the playoffs: 10 more games for playoffs 1 and 2, and 6 additional days for playoffs 3.

How do the Playoffs work in Belgium?

Find a detailed description of the three playoffs below: 

• Playoffs 1: includes clubs ranked 1-6 at the end of the regular season. The points are then halved, and the teams play 10 additional matches.
• Playoffs 2: includes clubs ranked 7-12 at the end of the regular season. The points are then halved, and the teams play 10 additional matches.
• Playoffs 3: includes clubs ranked 13-16 at the end of the regular season. Points are not halved, and teams play 6 extra matches.

At the end of the season (and therefore the playoff phase), many places have an impact on the future of clubs:

• The club ranked first is Belgian champion and qualifies for the Champions League
• The club ranked 2nd qualifies for the Champions League
• The club ranked 3rd is qualified for the Europa League
• 4th-placed club and Belgian Cup winner join Europa Conference League
• The 14th ranked club plays a maintenance play-off against a Challenger Pro League club
• Clubs ranked 15th and 16th are relegated to Challenger Pro League

As you will have understood, there are therefore many issues in this Belgian championship. And that's why the Jupiler Pro League forecast has grown more and more over the years in the UK.

How to make good predictions on all Jupiler Pro League matches?

To make a winning prediction on the Jupiler Pro League, several factors must be considered. This requires in particular a good knowledge of the championship and how it works, which we discussed in the paragraph just above, but also by good practice that the bettor must adopt. Specialist of the JPL for a few years, SportyTrader and its experts give you their major advice in order to make a good prediction on the Belgian championship:

• Check the form of Jupiler Pro League teams
• Take into account the form/absence of JPL star players
• Pay attention to games without stakes at the end of the season
• Analyze the odds and bet on the most interesting
• Analyze the latest stats in the Belgian league

These very important tips according to our experts if you want to predict Jupiler Pro League matches are obviously not the only ones, but those that you absolutely must respect. Find the details of each of them below.

Consult the current form of the Jupiler Pro League teams

This is certainly the advice that is given first, and this for all competitions and all sports. Indeed, in order to offer the most reliable Jupiler Pro League prediction possible, it will be essential to consult the form offered by the two teams concerned by your bet. This is therefore the case for the championships, and it will also always be in the Jupiler Pro League.

For example, a team like Club Brugge remains on 4 defeats in a row and faces Kortrijk, which has a string of good results and has just won 5 football matches? On paper, the two clubs are not at the same level and the Club has a much better squad. However, the form of the two teams on the latest results offered will not give the same trend, and it will always be necessary to favor a team in form, and this for all Division 1A matches.

Take into account the form/absence of Key JPL players

The second tip is also very important. Indeed, as we know, football is played with 11 players but there are always players more important than others in a workforce. It will then be important to target them for each squad, then to follow their current form or their potential injury or absence.

Indeed, seeing that the best player of a team is out of shape, injured or suspended will prevent you from losing a certain number of bets, but also from making better quality predictions. Don't forget, before each match, to take into account the squad called up by the coach, and the form proposed by the players during the last matches.

Pay attention to games without stakes at the end of the season

The new format of the championship with the three different playoffs should, logically, limit games without stakes for certain teams. But, we saw it again last year, even in the playoffs for the title, Club Brugge, for example, was far too far to grab the top places, even with the points halved.

And the people of Bruges, almost guaranteed to finish in fourth place, therefore had almost nothing to play for. You have to be wary of this type of encounter, since the players can either completely miss out, or be released since there is no pressure. So beware of trap matches at the end of the season!

Analyze the odds and bet on the most interesting

Fourth advice: it is obviously necessary to analyze the odds and enter the most interesting on your bet slip. Indeed, the bookmakers shape the odds themselves, and there may be differences from one operator to another. And the most popular don't always offer the best!

It will then be important to take the most interesting, to earn more money in the event of a successful bet. If you find odds at 1.90 and another at 1.95 for the same bet, why take the former? You would lose £5 in the event of a winning bet with a stake of £100! Do not hesitate to register with as many bookmakers as possible, and not just the best site, in order to ensure that you can benefit from the best odds, but also from everyone's superb welcome bonuses!

Analyze the latest stats in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League

Finally, it will also be important to analyze the statistics of the championship on which you wish to bet, in this case the Jupiler Pro League. First, it will be interesting to see the overall statistics recorded on last year's edition, which you will find a little further down this page. This will give you an overview of the type of championship that awaits you.

Secondly, the statistics of the last matches played by the teams concerned by your bet will also be very interesting for you. Indeed, a team can have bad results for 2 or 3 games, but remain dominating and lack luck. The change of dynamic should then arrive soon.

Note that, for the best Jupiler Pro League prediction, as reliable as possible, our editors systematically take into account each of these tips, but also many more.
