Genk vs Club Brugge Prediction and Betting Tips | May 11th 2025
Genk will host Club Brugge at the Cegeka Arena on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League championship playoffs. The home side have suffered a complete capitulation in the playoffs after a brilliant regular season campaign and now look set to miss out on both the league title and Champions League football.
They suffered a 1-0 defeat to league leaders Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in their last match and were right in the game after a cagey first half before a red card for Ibrahima Sory Bangoura early in the second half all but scuppered their chances of a positive result on the road.
Club Brugge have enjoyed a solid season but know they have to rely on results elsewhere if they are to retain their league title. They coasted to a 4-1 comeback win over a wayward Gent side in their last league outing before beating Anderlecht 2-1 last weekend to secure their first Belgian Cup title in a decade.
The visitors sit second in the table with 46 points and cannot afford to drop any points in the final three games of the season if they are to emerge as champions.
