"However, throwing away the lead twice last time out as they eventually had to settle for an action-packed 2-2 stalemate away at Charleroi, the Blues have come tumbling down the Pro League standings and they have faced some serious backlash since returning from November's international break. Watching their Belgium Cup adventure come to a screeching end earlier in the month as they slumped to a 3-1 loss at home against Anderlecht, the Boxing Day hosts have failed to win any of their previous five appearances"
"As for the visitors, while Club Brugge might have shown their own glaring inconstancies on either side of November's fortnight interval, Ivan Leko's camp have claimed a much-welcomed boost over the past fortnight. Collecting an impressive 2-1 victory against Gent last time out, the ex-Gent boss will be desperate to get one over on his former employers when he returns to the Cegeka Arena on Boxing Day"
Genk host Club Brugge at the Cegeka Arena on Boxing Day. Genk finished third last season and began 2025/26 aiming for a title challenge but have faltered recently. Genk drew 2-2 at Charleroi after throwing away a lead twice, lost 3-1 at home to Anderlecht in the Belgian Cup and suffered a 3-0 defeat at Antwerp. Genk are winless in five matches and have not kept a clean sheet in six weeks. Club Brugge have regained momentum, beating Gent 2-1 and previously winning 5-1 at Dender, sitting one point off the Pro League lead.
