A game that will settle debates not just in the Croky Cup, but throughout the whole of Belgian football.
Locked in a fierce battle for top spot in the Pro League, Genk are winning the chase so far. Club Brugge are the Champions League representatives for Belgium and of course, won’t give up without a fight.
But will the semi-final pressure get to them as they try to hold on to their 2-1 first leg lead?

Genk vs Club Brugge Preview
No matter what happens, the hosts will retain the moral victory of being top of the Pro League table. But due to the fierce rivalry these two have endured all season, that won’t be enough and they’ll be set on overturning the deficit and reaching the final.
With the play-off set-up in the Pro League, nothing is guaranteed even if you do finish first. However, no one can take silverware away from you, so Genk will want something concrete to show for the incredible season they’re having. And beating their enemies en route would make it even sweeter for De Smurfen.
Club Brugge, however, have different ideas. After losing some ground to Genk following a 2-1 league loss to Antwerp at the weekend, Nicky Hayen’s side will want to remind the world what they’re capable of with another victorious display.
Without home field advantage this time, their Champions League experience should have acclimatised them to intimidating atmospheres. And with so much quality in their squad, Club Brugge can never be counted out. Lest we forget, it’s them who have the one-goal advantage!
This is all set to be a Croky Cup cracker – and you won’t want to miss it!
