After a rollercoaster of a month for Club Brugge, the pressure is not off yet as they face another massive game in their Jupiler Pro League season. The same goes for Gent, who are hanging on to a play-off spot for dear life.
With Genk pulling away at the top of the table, the rest of the top six are scrambling in the tightly packed play-off places, with only 11 points separating 2nd and 6th. With plenty of football left, anything could happen in what has already proved to be an unpredictable season.

Gent vs Club Brugge Preview
Hosts Gent are in fine form of late and will be a tough game for anyone who crosses their path. They have not lost any of the last five games in the Pro League, climbing to 6th in the table and three points clear of Standard Liege, who are hot on their tail.
Gent additionally had some success in Europe this season, but ultimately fell at the hands of Real Betis, to whom they lost 3-1 over two legs in the Europa Conference League play-offs.
Facing a motivated Club Brugge who are chasing the top spot is a tough task, but the recent run has shown Nicky Hayen’s side are far from invincible and if Gent play to their potential, they could come away with full points.
Club Brugge are in extremely inconsistent form in the league and need to resume closing the distance to Genk at the top. But the defending champions have shown their potential in the Champions League, famously beating Atalanta to reach the last 16, where the Premier League’s Aston Villa await them.
But having won only one of the last five in the league, something has to change domestically – and quickly! Club Brugge need to collect themselves and stay composed in order to win a very tough game against Gent this weekend.
