Club Brugge will welcome Westerlo to the Jan Breydel Stadion for a Jupiler League matchday 21 fixture on Saturday.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 away victory over Gent in the Belgian Cup quarterfinal. Igor Thiago's 17th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides and helped his side book a semifinal date with either Royal Union or Anderlecht.
Blauw-Zwart will turn their attention back to the league where their last game came in a 1-1 draw at home to Royal Union.
Westerlo, meanwhile, were last in action when they claimed a comfortable 3-0 home win over RWDM. Griffin Yow and Nicolas Madsen scored in the 13th and 63rd minutes while Theo Gece scored an 81st-minute own goal.
The victory left them in 11th spot in the standings, having garnered 21 points from 20 games. Club Brugge are fifth with 34 points to show for their efforts in 20 games.

Westerlo's current four-game unbeaten run in the league has lifted them slightly out of the relegation zone on goal difference.
