Pro League: Two participants in decent shape get together for this game. Club Brugge could have a wee upper hand with their 3rd position in the table?
- Genk haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Club Brugge have scored in all their matches so far.
It's no vacation for neither Genk nor Club Brugge as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Genk form and stats

Prior to that, an away loss at Beerschot-Wilrijk in the Pro League.The match schedule is unforgiving for Genk as they have a new game in only three days, a Belgian Cup match thankfully also at home. Club Brugge are visiting.

Club Brugge form and stats
The visitors are W4-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Pro League.
Home advantage was not enough for Club Brugge in their previous game, as they lost their Champions League-match, hosting RB Leipzig, 0-5. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against RB Leipzig was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind. Brugge goalkeeper Simon Mignolet could enjoy a brilliant day against RB Leipzig, but despite achieving eight saves the loss could not be stopped. Éder Balanta got a match rating of 7.31 in that game, top player of the team. Balanta hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times.
Prior to that match, the Brugge manager P. Clement faced defeat when travelling to Mechelen and losing 1-2.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Brugge manager P. Clement as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Genk.
Brugge are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 12 times in 8 away games so far. Brugge have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
