Cercle Brugge vs Genk lineups
Cercle Brugge
After losing to Royal Antwerp by a lone goal in their opening match, Cercle Brugge bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Charleroi last weekend. Miron Muslic's men will set their sights on all three available points as they host Genk on Sunday. It's worth mentioning that Cercle Brugge have no players sidelined for this match.
Predicted lineups:
Warleson, Lopes, Ravych, Daland, Siquet, Francis, Bruggen, Deman, Gboho, Somers, Denkey.
Genk
It may interest you to know that Genk won the First Division A title last season. However, their title defense has gotten off to a rocky start. Wouter Vrancken's side are coming into this match on the back of three consecutive losses, and did not score in their last two matches. It'll be interesting to see if Genk can halt their rotting streak at the end of this game. Bryan Heynen is still sidelined for the visitors with an ankle injury.
Predicted lineups:
Vandevoordt, Preciado, Sadick, McKenzie, Arteaga, Mohammed, Hrosovsky, Baah, Khannouss, Tresor, Sor.

Player to watch: Kevin Denkey
With the departure of last season's top-scorer Ayase Ueda to Feyenoord, Kevin Denkey had some big shoes to fill. The Togolese player had scored 11 First Division A goals for Cercle Brugge last season; he picked up where he left off this campaign, scoring in their 2-0 victory over Charleroi last weekend. Interestingly, Denkey has three goals in his last three appearances for the club, and should be worth keeping an eye out for.
