Club Brugge vs Genk Preview
A tough run of Jupiler Pro League and Europa Conference League fixtures means Club Brugge have won just once in their last five. However, they have only lost once during that time too. Ronny Deila’s side will be hoping to get back to winning ways on Thursday night against a faltering Genk team.
The visitors face the same issue as Brugge; they are drawing too many games. Their only win in the last five outings was a 2-0 win on the road against Union Saint-Gilloise, with three draws and a European defeat rounding off those games. They were left shell-shocked at the weekend, conceding three goals in six minutes toward the end of the first half. They showed remarkable fight to rescue a point with three second-half goals of their own, but the defensive calamity will be cause for concern for Wouter Vrancken.
Genk will travel to the Jan Breydel Stadion quietly confident after getting the better of Brugge in recent meetings. They have won three consecutive times against the Belgian giants, winning all three 3-1. However, when you look at their record on the road in this fixture, it doesn’t make for quite such good reading.
They have lost three of their previous four away games against Brugge, conceding three in each of those defeats. It is also a game that tends to promise goals, and with plenty of in-form attacking talent in the ranks of both teams, we could be in for a high-scoring affair.
