The Match
It is the 39th confrontation between the two teams in the Belgian premier league. The previous 19 away duels yielded 13 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat. Club Brugge has already returned unbeaten from Westerlo 16 times in a row.
Club and Westerlo have to look for their first win after failing to get beyond a draw on the opening day of play. Club was held to a 1-1 draw by KV Mechelen while Westerlo fought back from a double deficit (2-2) at Eupen.
Igor Thiago was able to score immediately in the first league game. He may become the first Club player to score in his first 2 league games since Bas Dost in January 2021.
Jorne Spileers (18 years 190 days) can become the youngest player to capture 10 starting places in a calendar year at 18 since Colin Coosemans in 2011 (17 starting places before his 19th birthday).
Maxim De Cuyper cannot do Club any favors against his former team after he received a red card against KV Mechelen.
