Genk host Club Brugge in the Belgian Pro League

Genk will welcome Club Brugge to Cegeka Arena in the Belgian Pro League on Sunday. Both teams have endured a winless run in the league after two games and will look to get their first win of the season here.

The visitors are winless in their three games this season. They kicked off their 2024-25 season with a 2-1 loss to Union Saint-Gilloise in the Belgian Super Cup. Their poor run continued in the league as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Mechelen in their campaign opener. They suffered a 1-0 loss to Standard Liege last week.

Genk vs Club Brugge Prediction

Blauw-Wit have scored just once in the league thus far and, after failing to score in their campaign opener, they opened their goalscoring account last week. Interestingly, they have just one win in their last nine league games, suffering seven losses and failing to score in five games.

Blauw-Zwart have scored just two goals in three games across all competitions and will look to improve upon that record. They registered 3-0 wins in their two away meetings against the hosts last season.

Both managers will look to make a few changes to their respective starting teams here. Nonetheless, considering the current goalscoring form of the two teams, a low-scoring draw is likely to ensue.
