It’s two versus three in the Belgian Jupiler League as Gent welcome Club Brugge. This match will be played at the Ghelamco Arena with both teams locked on ten points after three matches and two behind leaders Anderlecht. Gent had a successful midweek game where they defeated APOEL Nicosia 2-1 to make it to the group stages of the UEFA Europa Conference League. The hosts will now set their sights on tracking down leaders Anderlecht in the domestic league. Gent have started the season with three straight wins before a 2-2 draw against St. Truiden halted their march. They have scored nine goals so far and are the joint-second highest scoring team in the league. Even their home games are usually a treat for the neutral fans as Gent’s last seven home matches in the division have produced goals at either ends.

Brugge are also coming off a successful midweek fixture, drawing 2-2 against Osasuna and progressing to the group stages of the UEFA Europa Conference League. That result halted their winning streak of six straight competitive wins. Five of the last six matches in that sequence have seen goals at both ends, which adds to the excitement factor. The visitors are just behind leaders Anderlecht and are in fact separated from their hosts only by goal difference. They are the top scorers in the division so far this season with 14 goals. However, 12 of those were netted in the last two matches, so in a sense that total is skewed. Yet, seven of Brugge’s last ten league matches have produced goals at both ends which could once again be the case here.
