Club Brugge didn’t have a very strong finish last season and will be hoping for a better start this time. They start off their season with the Super Cup game against Genk, the team that beat them to the Belgian title last season. Club Brugge head to this game straight from a loss to Utrecht in a preseason friendly match; that was their second loss in four matches and they haven’t managed a clean sheet in the five matches, while they’ve failed to score in one of the five. Four of Brugge’s last five preseason games have produced over 2.5 goals and in each of the four, they’ve scored two goals.

Genk have had just three preseason friendly matches ahead of the new season and they’ve shown really great shape, especially in attack, winning two and drawing one. They head to this game unbeaten in their last 10 matches across all competitions and having won eight of those. In their last five matches, they’ve scored two or more goals in four and kept two clean sheets. In total, in their last five matches, Genk have scored 17 goals and conceded three. At no given point in their last eight matches have they conceded two goals in a game, while seven of their last 10 matches have yielded over 2.5 goals. They managed to break Brugge’s dominance over them last season, and go into this game with straight wins in their last two meetings with Brugge.
