Club Brugge host KRC Genk in a key Jupiler Pro League match this Saturday. The game at the Jan Breydel Stadium kicks off at 16:30 and offers the home side a chance to build on their 3-1 victory over Antwerp.
Manager Nicky Hayen's team currently sits 15th in the standings with three points from six games. Their recent form has been mixed, with three wins and two defeats in their last five league matches. The recent home win against Antwerp was secured by goals from Hugo Vetlesen (twice) and Jan Virgili. Vetlesen opened the scoring from the penalty spot and later made it 2-1.
Genk travel to Bruges from ninth place. Wouter Vrancken's side have drawn their last two matches, against Gent and Anderlecht. In the last meeting between the clubs, on 26 December last year, Club Brugge won 3-5 in Genk.
For his lineup, Hayen can rely on the starting eleven that faced Antwerp. It featured goalkeeper Yann Sommer, defenders Hugo Siquet, Lee Han-Beom, Brandon Mechele and Joaquin Seys, midfielders Finley Potts and Florent Lemaréchal, and the attacking trio of Carlos Forbs, Hugo Vetlesen and Jan Virgili, with Roman Vermant leading the line.
