Brugge take on the visitors Genk in the round 5 match of Belgium Jupiler Pro League. The match will be played on Thursday, September 28th at Jan Breydel Stadion (Brugge).
The Black and Blue team consistently won the gold medals in Jupiler Pro League from 2020 to 2022, bringing their tally of championship titles to 18. After such success, the previous season can only be seen as a failure: despite changing coaches, the club finished in fourth place, although they did reach the Champions League playoffs. Currently, things aren't going smoothly for them either. In the Conference League, they started with a home draw against Besiktas. In Jupiler Pro League, under Ronnie Daelen's guidance, they won most of their matches, including 5-0 and 7-1 victories, but only managed to draw with Mechelen and lost on Gent's turf. They also finished 1-1 with Anderlecht.

Genk left a highly contradictory impression in the 2022/2023 season. The Magisters, on the one hand, made significant progress. If they were only eighth a year earlier, they became the vice-champions. However, despite finishing the regular season in first place, they let Antwerp slip past them in the playoffs, taking the title. Currently, things are not going smoothly: they were eliminated from the Champions League qualifiers by Servette, albeit on penalties, and Olympiacos did the same in the Europa League. They only managed to advance to the group stage of the Conference League, starting with a 2-2 draw against Fiorentina. In the national championship, despite winning away, they lost to Eupen at home and couldn't defeat Charleroi and Anderlecht. In the last round, they turned a 0-3 deficit into a 3-3 draw against Saint-Truiden, starting to score in the 58th minute.
In 2023, the teams have already played three times, and Genk have won each time. Both teams play brightly, even by Belgian standards. We expect a total of over 3.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
