Club Brugge will host Anderlecht at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Sunday (January 15) in the 2022-23 Jupiler Pro League.
The hosts have endured a largely difficult campaign, prompting the dismissal of manager Carl Hoefkens less than six months into his reign in charge. Former Bournemouth boss Scott Parker has been appointed as the new manager but suffered a 3-1 defeat to league leaders Genk in his first game in charge.
Anderlecht, meanwhile, have endured an even worse season than their opponents and have also hired a new manager. They were beaten 3-1 by Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in their last game. They looked set to come away with an unlikely victory after Fabio Silva's 64th-minute strike but were undone by three goals in the final ten minutes.
The visitors are 11th in the league table, with 23 points from 19 games.
