Genk hosts Club Brugge KV in round 2 of the Belgian Jupiler League Championship Group. The match will be played on Friday, May 7th at Luminus Arena (Genk)
In the Belgian championship, there was a division into groups after 34 matches of the regular tournament. Club Brugge KV, Genk, Antwerp, and Anderlecht will fight for the champion’s crown. At the moment, Genk is the closest to the leading Club Brugge. The distance between teams is eight points. Unlike the Black-and-Blues, the Smurfs managed to win in the first round of the championship group and thereby close the gap. In total, Genk players have won four of their last five matches. Interestingly, at least three goals were scored in each of those games. And both teams scored in four out of five cases.

The recent results of Brugge do not quite match the club's status as a gold medal claimant. The Black-and-Blues won only two of the last five matches and conceded at least one goal in each of them. The games involving the leader of the championship are distinguished by high production -at least three goals were scored in four of the last five cases. Club Brugge regularly loses its advantage or concedes first. In the first round of the championship group, the team scored first against Anderlecht but then conceded twice and had to win back (2-2). In the game against Mouscron (4-2), Brugge was losing 0-1 and also allowed the opponent to level the score after 2-1. In another match against Anderlecht in the 33rd round of the championship, the Black-and-Blues took the lead but conceded two goals and lost. And Brugge conceded first from Kortrijk but managed to win (2-1). I will also add that the team has conceded goals in five matches in a row.
Genk rarely manages to take points away from Club Brugge. The Smurfs lost four of their last five matches and gained only one draw (1-1). Interestingly, both teams scored in each of the last five matches. Moreover, at least two goals were scored in all five cases. The last matches involving Genk and Club Brugge were a real hurricane. At least two goals were scored in four of five recent meetings with the participation of the Black-and-Blues. The Smurfs played even more spectacular football - at least three goals were scored in four of the last five games. Beyond that, Brugge and Genk scored at least three goals in four of the last five head-to-head meetings. There is a feeling that the fans will see a goal show once again.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored
