The Belgian Jupiler League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Club Brugge play host to Union Saint-Gilloise at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Wednesday.
Both sides head into the game level on points at the top of the league table and this makes for an exciting and riveting contest.
In the first of two consecutive meetings, Club Brugge picked up a 2-0 victory when they squared off against Union Saint-Gilloise on Sunday.
The Blauw-Zwart are now unbeaten in each of their last nine games in all competitions, stretching back to a 3-0 loss to KAA Gent in the semi-finals of the Belgian Cup.
Club Brugge head into Wednesday’s game on a three-match winning streak at home, scoring six goals and conceding one in that time.
Meanwhile, Sunday’s defeat saw Union Saint-Gilloise’s 10-game unbeaten streak come to an end.
However, they have remained unbeaten on the road since last October — a run of 10 wins and two draws since their 2-1 cup loss to Mechelen.
Union Saint-Gilloise are currently second in the Championship round standings of the Belgian Jupiler League, level on 43 points with first-placed Club Brugge.
