Two in-form sides square off in round 13 of the Belgian Jupiler League as Union Saint-Gilloise play host to Club Brugge on Sunday.
Ronny Deila’s men are currently unbeaten in their last four visits to the Stade Joseph Marien and will head into the weekend looking to extend this impressive run.
Union Saint-Gilloise booked their spot in the round of 16 of the Belgian Cup on Wednesday courtesy of a 2-1 home victory over RFC Meux.
This was in keeping with their fine run of results in the Jupiler League, where they have won their last six matches, stretching back to a 2-0 loss against Genk on September 12.
With 28 points from 12 matches, Alexander Blessin’s side currently sit at the top of the league table, four points above second-placed Anderlecht.
Club Brugge, on the other hand, stormed through the round of 32 of the Belgian Cup as they hammered Beerschot 6-0 at the Olympisch Stadion on Wednesday.
Deila’s side have now won three games on the spin, including a 2-1 victory over Royal Antwerp on October 29 which saw their five-game winless run in the league come to an end.
With 19 points from 12 matches, Club Brugge are currently sixth in the Jupiler League table but could move level with fourth-placed Cercle Brugge with all three points on Sunday.
