Club Brugge will welcome league leaders Genk to Jan Breydel Stadium in a top-of-the-table Belgian Pro League clash on Sunday. Both teams have won their two games in the Championship playoffs, and the visitors have a four-point lead over Brugge.
The hosts extended their winning streak in the league to four games last week, recording a 3-2 away win over Antwerp. Ferran Jutglà, Ardon Jashari, and Christos Tzolis scored in the first half to give them a comfortable three-goal lead, and Antwerp could only score twice after the break.
The league leaders also made it four wins on the trot last week with a 2-1 away triumph over Anderlecht. Joris Kayembe scored in the 32nd minute, and fellow defender Zakaria El Ouahdi restored their lead in the 84th minute.
