Gent will host Club Brugge at the Ghelamco Arena on Sunday in a 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League championship round game. The home side have struggled for results in recent games and have work to do if they are to secure continental football as they sit fourth in the table with 26 points.
They returned to winning ways last time out, beating Royal Antwerp 1-0 on the road with Noah Fadinga scoring the sole goal of the game midway through the first half to secure the points for Danijel Milicevic's men and register his fifth league strike of the season.
Club Brugge, meanwhile, are in fine form and find themselves in the thick of a title race with Genk and Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. They picked up a narrow but well-deserved 1-0 win over Genk last time out, with Maxim De Cuyper netting the game-winner from the spot deep into additional time.
Trending
The visitors, who sit second in the league standings, are one point behind Blauw-Wit at the top of the pile and two points above third-placed USG and will be looking to continue their title charge with a win on the road this weekend.

Club Brugge, meanwhile, have won their last five league games on the spin and will head into this one with confidence. They have lost just one away league game all year and should come out on top on Sunday.
