Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Club Brugge are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

The supporters enjoyed Brugge's previous game versus AS Eupen (placed 14th), a Pro League 3-0 win played at home. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Gent.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Brugge are regular goalscorers on their travels.
