Club Brugge return to action in the Belgian Jupiler League when they take on KAA Gent at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Sunday.
The visitors head into the weekend unbeaten in their last six league matches and will be looking to extend this impressive form.
Club Brugge finished unbeaten in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stages as they picked up a comfortable 3-1 victory over Bodo/Glimt on Sunday.
Ronny Deila’s men, who finished first in Group D with 16 points from a possible 18, now return to the Jupiler League, where they are unbeaten in their last four matches, claiming two wins and two draws since November’s 2-1 loss at Saint-Gilloise.
With 27 points from 17 matches, Club Brugge are currently sixth in the league table but could move level with fourth-placed Royal Antwerp with all three points this weekend.
Elsewhere, Gent were denied top spot in Group B of the Conference League in midweek when they fell to a 3-1 loss against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Prior to that, Hein van Haezebrouck’s side were unbeaten in 11 straight matches across all competitions, a run which saw them pick up three wins and three draws in six Jupiler League matches.
With 32 points from 17 games, KAA Gent are currently third in the league standings, nine points adrift of first-placed Saint-Gilloise.
