The Belgian Jupiler League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as KAS Eupen and Club Brugge go head-to-head at the Kehrweg Stadium on Sunday.
Ronny Deila’s men head into the weekend fresh off the back of an emphatic victory in the Conference League qualifiers and will look to continue in the same vein.
Eupen picked up their first win of the season last Saturday when they edged out a dogged Genk side 1-0 at the Cegeka Arena.
Prior to that, Florian Kohfeldt’s side were left spitting feathers in the league opener as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Westerlo after bottling a two-goal lead.
With last Saturday’s result, Eupen have now gone unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, claiming four wins and one draw since June’s 3-1 friendly loss against Alemannia Aachen.
Elsewhere, Club Brugge turned in a performance of the highest quality on Thursday as they thrashed KA Akureyri 5-1 in the first leg of the Conference League third qualifying round.
Deila’s men now turn their attention to the Jupiler League, where they secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Westerlo last weekend.
Like Sunday’s hosts, Club Brugge have picked up four points from their opening three matches and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.

KAS Eupen vs Club Brugge Prediction
While Eupen will be looking to build on last week’s result against Genk, they face the stern challenge of a Club Brugge side who are unbeaten in 14 of their last 16 meetings.
Given the gulf in class and quality between the two sides, we fancy Deila’s men claiming all three points once again.
