Genk – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Smurfs” played mediocrely last season. To be more precise, they rose to 5th place in the final stretch, in the championship “confrontations”. Still, then they lost the play-off struggle with Gent for a place in the Conference League – 0-1.
The club started the new championship with a goalless draw against Standard at the home arena. Speaking about the away performance, it lost to Leuven with a 1-3 score.
Brugge – the shape of the team and its analysis:
Last season, “the Blue and Blacks”, having replaced Deila with Hayen in the spring, regained the championship title (by a minimum, but they managed to overtake Royal Union).
Still, the start of the new season was not particularly successful. First, the team lost to Royal Union on the native field with a 1-2 result, giving up the country’s Super Cup. As for the first round, which also took place at the home arena, it could not hold on to the victory over Mechelen. Performing in Liege, the team did not respond to the only goal of Standard, losing again.
