Club Brugge will welcome Sporting Charleroi to the Jan Breydel Stadion for a matchday 22 fixture in the Belgian Jupiler League on Sunday.
The hosts will be seeking to return to winning ways, having relinquished the lead in a 1-1 draw away to St Truiden on Thursday. The defending champions went ahead through Wolke Janssens' 26th-minute own goal but Gianni Bruno leveled matters for the hosts in the 82nd minute.
Sporting Charleroi also settled for a share of the spoils in a goalless draw away to Gent.
The draw left them in 11th spot, having garnered 26 points from 20 matches. Club Brugge sit in fourth spot with 36 points to their name.

Club Brugge vs Charleroi Prediction
Club Brugge's title defense has not gone according to plan and they currently find themselves 19 points behind league leaders Genk.
Their inconsistencies led to the parting of ways with former manager Carl Hoefkens but the appointment of Scott Parker has not had the desired effect. The former Fulham manager is yet to oversee his first win after three games in charge.
Club Brugge are favorites to win against Sporting Charleroi, although nothing can be taken for granted. Nevertheless, we are backing the hosts to end their six-game winless run with a comfortable win in a high-scoring game.
