Club Brugge
- Club Brugge KV are a red-hot favorite to extend their lead at the top of the First Division A - Championship Group 2026 standings when they take on fifth-place Gent on Sunday.
- With 50 points from 37 games, the home side are on course to win the title, while the visitors have racked up 27 points from the same number of fixtures.
- Club Brugge have won their last 5 consecutive games.
- Christos Tzolis has been in top form for the hosts since the start of the Championship Group, netting 5 goals in 7 games, and making him the only player that consistently threatens the goal.
- Brugge have not drawn or lost any of their last 3 home games, while Gent have won just 5 of their 18 road games in the Championship Group, drawing 5 and losing 8.
Gent
- Gent have failed to win any of their last 5 games, drawing 3 and losing 2.
- Gent have not won in their last 3 away games, drawing 2 and losing 1, while they have failed to win in their last 2 visits to Brugge in this competition.
- Gent have conceded 30 goals in their 18 road trips, and this could be a problem if Brugge’s offensive players can fire in an early goal.
Recent meetings
- The home team won two and tied one of their last three Championship Group head-to-head clashes with Gent.
- The most recent game between these sides saw Brugge win 2-0 away three weeks ago, extending their positive momentum and head-to-head record against the Buffalos.

Betting Insights
As a result, the odds are quite narrow for a Brugge win at 1.32 , but we’re confident that the hosts can take the points and extend their winning run to 6 matches.
Prediction
A midfield battle will ensue on Sunday, and if Brugge’s positive, attacking style can dominate Gent’s more disciplined, structured, but less attacking shape, then it should be enough for a home win.
