Club Brugge will host Royale Union Saint-Gilloise at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Monday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The home side are enjoying a brilliant run of form in the league and are pushing for their first Pro League title since the 2021-22 campaign.
They beat defending champions Royal Antwerp 2-1 in their last league outing, finding themselves two goals up before their opponents netted a consolation goal from the spot midway through the second half.
Royale Union Saint-Gilloise endured a slow start to the Championship round and now find themselves third in the table with 42 points picked up so far. They played out a goalless draw against Anderlecht last time out in the league before picking up a 1-0 victory over Royal Antwerp last time out to secure the Beker van Belgie title for the first time in over a century.
