On Sunday afternoon, AS Eupen hosts Club Brugge at the Stadion am Kehrweg in round two of the Belgian top-flight.
The home side kicked off the new league campaign with a 3-1 defeat at Sporting Charleroi. The defeat continues Eupen’s poor run of form from the end of last season, as they are now winless in five league games, having suffered four defeats in the run.

Eupen’s most significant problem during their poor recent run of form has been conceding too many goals, as they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five matches in the Belgian top-flight.
Eupen has recently struggled to make home advantage work in their favour, as they have lost six of their last eight matches on home soil. Defensive vulnerabilities have played a key role in that poor recent home run, as Eupen has conceded at least two goals in five of their last eight home matches in the Belgian top-flight.
The visitors won their third straight Belgian top-flight title last season. They finished second in the table during the regular season. However, they then won the Championship group.
Carl Hoefkens’ team opened the new league campaign with a 3-2 home win over Genk, having beaten Gent in the Super Cup in the previous game.
The opening weekend victory means that Club Brugge are unbeaten in 15 league matches, having recorded a highly respectable 13 wins in the run.
The visitors have been strong on their travels of late in the Belgian top-flight, as they are unbeaten in nine away games, recording seven wins.
Forebet predicts that Club Brugge will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to make it two wins out of two in the Belgian top flight.
