Lommel vs Club Brugge team news and expert analysis
The Limburg-based club finished only fifth in the country's second division last season. However, they won the promotion play-offs and earned a place in the top flight. They began their campaign with a draw against Sint-Truiden, then, after losing to Charleroi, thrashed Westerlo 4-0 at home. They also defeated Cercle Brugge, albeit by a narrow 1-0 margin.
The Jan Breydel giants managed to reclaim the league title in the spring. However, Royal Union got their revenge in the Super Cup in July, albeit only on penalties. In the Pro League, though, they opened with back-to-back victories, both accompanied by clean sheets. It was therefore all the more surprising that they came away empty-handed against Gent in the latest round, losing 1-2.
The newcomers currently average 1.0 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per game at the higher level. The reigning champions have identical figures, averaging 1.0 goals scored and 1.0 conceded.
