Club Brugge will host Genk at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League Conference League playoffs.
The home side are enjoying a strong run of form at the moment and continue their push for the Jupiler Pro League title. They beat Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 2-1 in their last match, with Hugo Vetlesen and Bjorn Meijer getting on the scoresheet in the second half before their opponents netted a late consolation goal.
Club Brugge sit second in the table with 36 points. They are just two points above their opponents in fourth place and will be looking to widen that gap on Wednesday.
Genk have also performed well in the playoffs so far and remain in contention for continental football. They beat league leaders Anderlecht 2-1 last time out, with Tolu Arokodare opening the scoring before former Brighton & Hove Albion man Andi Zeqiri scored the game-winner from the spot in additional time.
