Stats for this game
Matchup Cercle Brugge VS Genk
Genk’s edge across close scores
Genk’s stronger historical position is supported by several narrow results. They won 2-1 at home to Cercle Brugge on 8 February 2025, 3-2 away on 14 September 2024 and 1-0 away on 13 August 2023. The scores point toward Genk, but each victory remained within a limited margin. That pattern gives Genk the clearer direction while leaving space for Cercle Brugge to contest individual meetings.
Cercle’s drawn resistance
Cercle Brugge supplied a decisive counterpoint with a 4-1 home win on 4 May 2024. The teams also drew 1-1 at Genk on 25 January 2026, 2-2 at Cercle on 19 October 2025, 1-1 at Genk on 13 April 2024 and 1-1 on 20 January 2024. Those shared scores form an important part of the comparison. Genk remain ahead historically, but Cercle’s win and the repeated draws keep the next meeting open to another adjustment across these scorelines.
