Pro League action returns to Jan Breydelstadion as Genk take on last season's runners up Club Brugge.
Club Brugge vs Genk Betting Tips - Club Brugge to win
The first weekend of the Pro League season sees two of last season's title chasers come head-to-head as Brugge hosts Genk in an intriguing contest on Sunday.
Having led the division by nine points before the final Championship round, a disastrous run of form saw Genk's title hopes crash. The Smurfs lost five of their last eight games, to eventually finish the season in third spot.
Brugge saw their title hopes fall apart on the final day of the season as a home draw against Antwerp allowed USG to claim their first-ever Belgian Pro League title.
Nick Hayen's side returned to competitive action last weekend as they exacted revenge on USG with a 2:1 in the final of the Super Cup.
Since the end of last season, Brugge won five of their last six competitive fixtures and another home win seems likely this weekend. Hayen's men also recorded victories in four of their last five meetings against Genk, and in their three previous encounters at this venue.
A strong record at Jan Breydelstadion has seen Brugge win ten and lose just two of their last 15 Pro League games, and another success seems likely this weekend.
Considering last season's end-of-season form, and the previous encounters between these sides, a low-scoring home win could be on the cards on Sunday.
A home win is my best bet at Jan Breydelstadion.
