KAA Gent and Club Brugge will battle for three points in a Belgian Jupiler Pro League matchday 28 clash on Sunday (March 2nd). The game will be played at Planet Group Arena.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a goalless draw away to Genk last weekend.
Club Brugge, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to Standard Liege. All three goals were scored after the break, with Ferran Jutgla putting the hosts ahead six minutes into the second half. But they were reduced to 10 men four minutes later when Christos Tzolis was sent off for two bookable offenses. Andi Zeqiri drew Standard level from the spot midway through the second half while Dennis Eckert Ayensa scored the match-winner with five minutes left on the clock in regulation time.
The loss left the Blauw-Zwart in second spot in the standings, having garnered 57 points from 27 games. Gent are sixth on 41 points.
