In the Belgian Pro League, Club Brugge plays Gent at Jan Breydelstadion on February 26. Two teams in the top five meet in a crucial matchup with playoff qualification at stake. One point separates the two teams. Gent is fifth with 42 points, while Brugge is fourth with 43. At the conclusion of matchday 27, they might switch places.
Since 2019-20, Brugge has won back-to-back titles, but with eight games remaining, Blauw-Zwart appears unlikely to defend their title. They are 20 points behind leaders Genk and have more away games than home games to overcome. On the road, they’ve been terrible.
Gent, on the other hand, wants to finish in the top four to get into the Play-Offs I, which they could do as soon as Sunday if they beat Bruges. Gent, like Brugge, has won one of their last five games. Despite their respectable standings position, they are having trouble.
De Buffalo’s returned to winning ways in the league with a 2-0 victory over OH Leuven, ending a three-game losing streak. Additionally, they beat Qarabag on penalties to advance to the UEFA Europa Conference League Round of 16 playoffs. When they last met, Gent defeated Brugge 2-0, and they will be hoping for another victory.

With eight goals each hosts Ferran Jutgla and Han Vanaken are leading the charge. Andreas Skov Olsen and Casper Nielsen have each scored seven times. Due to injuries, seven players, including Darko Lemajic, have been ruled out.
Hugo Cuypers, a talisman with 15 goals and four assists, is, however, available for selection. However, Brugge ought to win all three points.
Prediction: Club Brugge 2-1 Gent
In their previous five meetings with Gent, Brugge has won twice and lost three times. In their last five matches against Gent at home, the hosts have won once and lost four times. In their last five games at home, Brugge has drawn four times and lost once.
In their last five away games, the visitors have won once, drawn once, and lost three times. In their last five games, Gent has won twice, drawn once, and lost twice, while Brugge has won once, drawn three times, and lost once.
Because the men are mostly healthy, Club Brugge manager Scott Parker only has to deal with one fitness issue. The game will not feature Andreas Skov Olsen. Hein Vanhaezebrouck, the manager of KAA Gent, has to deal with a lot of players who aren’t available.
Kamil Piatkowski, Darko Lemajic, Matisse Samoise, Tarik Tissoudali, Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe, and Darko Lemajic will not perform here.
