33

Talbi Center
Nice projection of Bruges but the center is imprecise

28

15:57

The players take the field
The Kuipje is warm to accommodate the 22 actors

15:50

Homecoming for Timmy Simons
The Westerlo coach still has a lot of knowledge in Bruges but will put affect aside for 90 minutes. Will he manage to play Blauw en Zwart in the same round as Standard before the break?

15:43

Nilsson and Skov Olsen absent
The two attackers are not 100%. Romeo Vermant and Chemsdine Talbi take the opportunity to appear in the eleven. For the last city, born in Sambreville, this is the very first tenure with the A core. We will also note the return of Jorne Spileers in defense after several weeks with the U23s in D1B.

15:39

The Club wants to return to victory
We must not get ahead of ourselves too quickly in the Champions League: because in the championship, the Blauw en Zwart remain in three matches in a row without a victory, they currently only have half of the points at stake. Genk, the leader, is seven points ahead.
