Club Brugge KV v SL Benfica: Round of 16 Leg One - UEFA Champions League
Brugge take on Gent in the Belgian Pro League on Sunday.

Club Brugge host Gent at Jan Breydelstadion in the Belgian Pro League on Sunday (February 26).

It’s a pivotal clash involving two teams in the top five, with qualification for the play-offs I at stake. The two teams are separated by one point. Brugge are fourth with 43 points, while Gent are fifth with 42. They could swap places at the end of matchday 27.

Brugge won back-to-back titles since 2019-20, but with eight rounds of games left, Blauw-Zwart’s chances of defending their title appear very slim. They trail leaders Genk by 20 points and have more away fixtures to tackle than home games. They have been poor on the road.

Gent, meanwhile, are eyeing a place in the top four to qualify for the Play-offs I. They could achieve that as early as Sunday if they win at Bruges. Like Brugge, Gent have claimed one win in their last five games. They're struggling despite their decent position in the standings.

After a three-game winless streak, De Buffalo's got back to winning ways with a 2-0 triumph over OH Leuven in the league. They have also qualified for the UEFA Europa Conference League Round of 16, defeating Qarabag on penalties in the knockout round playoffs.

Gent beat Brugge 2-0 when they last met and will fancy their chances of another victory.
