Club Brugge won their 17th trophy in the domestic championship last season, beating their closest rival only in additional indicators. The team of Phillippe Clement secured participation in the group stage of the Champions League and won the match for the Super Cup of the country against Genk (3:2). As for the current season in the championship, the team is in third place after two rounds, with four points in the asset. Having played a draw at home against Eupen (2:2), the club was more successful than Saint-Gilloise on the road (1:0).
The eight-time French champion barely stayed in the country’s elite division last season. The team is performing worse and worse, but the 18th final place last year was the worst indicator in recent years. In 38 rounds Nantes won nine victories and drew 13 times, which brought 40 points. It is noteworthy that the Canaries showed a good result in the attack, where they distinguished themselves 47 times. The team was saved from relegation by a series of victories at the finish, but the fiasco in the last round against Montpellier (1:2) sent the team to the play-offs, where the yellow-greens were already at their best. A victory over Toulouse with a score of 2: 1 away and a 0-1 defeat at home under the old rules helped to maintain a spot in Ligue1. Of the newcomers, Fiorentina goalkeeper Alban Lafont (7.5 million) can be noted.
