Club Brugge KV – Gent : Preview & Prediction
Belgian Cup semi-final second leg between Brugge and Genk! As a reminder, Brugge won the first leg 0-1. A little less than a month ago, De Ketelaere scored the only goal of the game at the hour mark, giving his club an important advantage before the second game. Brugge lost four days later, this time in the league, against the same opponent (1-2), and will have to be wary in this match, and not consider the first leg victory as final. Since that defeat, the club has been doing better and has won three times in a row, coming back to within 7 points of the league leader. Genk, on the other hand, are hoping to move up in the standings to compete for the title, and will have to aim for the top 4. In the league, Genk has won four times in a row, and they are counting on their current form to trouble Club Brugge. A Belgian Cup final and a top four finish, which would allow them to play in the playoffs, would be a successful season for the Belgian club. Especially since a Conference League Round of 8 match against PAOK Salonika awaits them next Thursday.
Bruges have lost just one of their last 5 home games.
Bruges won the first leg 1-0.
Bruges have won three consecutive Pro League games.
Genk have won 4 times in the JPL.
The match promises to be open and intense between two teams who are meeting for the third time in less than a month. Genk won the last match in the league, but Brugge won the first leg in the cup and will have a small lead in the second leg. Genk will have to push for an equalizer, and Brugge might take advantage of this to punish them on the counter… Victory for Club Brugge!
