Club Brugge vs Genk Prediction
Club Brugge are in splendid form domestically. They have only league action to worry about, and they will channel all their attention on trying to usurp Royal Union from the summit.
Genk, meanwhile, have had a topsy turvy campaign. The quality available to both teams means they could both find the back of the net, but the hosts are likely to emerge triumphant in a high-scoring game.
Prediction: Club Brugge 3-1 Genk.
