Prediction: 0-2
Club Brugge
Cegeka Arena will be the centre of attention when Genk and Club Brugge lock horns in the Jupiler League derby on Sunday. Genk are determined to record their first win of the season, but they will have a big fish to fry against the reigning champions. Both Zakaria El Ouahdi and Bilal El Khannous are still on the international duty and given Luca Oyen’s injury, home win should not be considered.
The title holders, on the other hand, aim to recover from a shocking 1-0 loss to Standard Liege. As Club Brugge rolled over Genk 3-0 in their last meeting at Cegeka Arena, we are tempted to bet on the visiting side. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, midfielder Maxim De Cuyper should be recalled to the starting XI. Denmark international Andreas Skov Olsen is pushing for a start as well.
