Prediction: 2-1
Club Brugge
All eyes will be on Cegeka Arena when Genk and Club Brugge square off against each other in the Jupiler League derby. Genk are leading the chase for the domestic trophy, but both Antwerp and St Gilloise are still breathing down their neck. Defender Carlos Cuesta remains in the recovery room, while midfielder Adnane Abid is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Club Brugge, on the other hand, are eight points behind the league leaders with slim title chances. Anyhow, given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Ferran Jutgla is widely expected to lead the line for the visitors after scoring a hat-trick in a 7-0 crushing of Eupen, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team. In their last meeting at the venue Genk defeated Club Brugge 3-1.
