Club Brugge vs Genk prediction, preview, team news and more | Belgian Super Cup

Club Brugge take on Genk at the Jan Breydelstadion in the Belgian Super Cup finals on Saturday.

This will be a great opportunity for both sides to get their hands on some silverware before the 2021-22 season begins.

Club Brugge have had mixed results in their pre-season friendlies so far and will go into the game off the back of a 4-2 defeat to Utrecht. Philippe Clement will need his side to step up their performance if they are to beat Genk on Saturday.

Genk, on the other hand, have picked up where they left off last season and have had an unbeaten pre-season campaign.

John van den Brom will know his side are capable of winning the finals if they continue playing the same way they have been.

Club Brugge vs Genk Head-to-Head

Club Brugge hold a slight advantage based on the recent head-to-head record between the two sides, having won three of their last five games, with Genk winning two.

Genk did, however, come away as 2-1 winners the last time the two sides met back in May. A late penalty by Cyriel Dessers was enough to secure all three points after Genk's Ruud Vormer canceled out Bastien Toma's opener.
