Club Brugge and Gent will battle for three points in a Belgian Jupiler League matchday eight fixture on Sunday. The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Borussia Dortmund in front of their fans in the UEFA Champions League.
All three goals were scored in the second half, with Jamie Gittens stepping off the bench to score a brace while Serhou Guirassy completed the scoring from the spot in injury time.

Franck Suarez and Noah Fadiga scored first-half goals to inspire the win while their visitors were reduced to 10 men in first-half injury time.
