Club Brugge will host Royal Union Saint-Gilloise at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2022-23 Jupiler Pro League championship playoff.
The home side have endured a rather underwhelming campaign and look set to miss out on Champions League football for the first time in five seasons. They were beaten 3-1 by a clinical Genk outfit last time out, squandering the early lead handed to them by team captain Hans Vanaken.
USG, meanwhile, have enjoyed a strong league season and are in the thick of a title race at the moment. They were beaten 2-0 by in-form Royal Antwerp on Wednesday, finding themselves two goals down at the half-hour mark and failing to find a way back into the game.
Trending
The visitors sit third in the Championship playoffs table with 38 points. They will be looking to shake off their latest result and return to winning ways when they play at the weekend.
