Club Brugge and Mechelen will kick off their Belgian Pro League campaigns on Sunday when they square off at the Jan Breydel Stadium. Under the new management of Ronny Deila, the hosts have already been in competitive action in Europa Conference League qualifying and will hope to kick off their title bid with three points, while Mechelen kicked off their season in the Belgian Super Cup final last weekend. Now with some confidence in the camp following that strong start to the continental campaign, Deila’s men will now aim to begin with three points in their bid to regain the Belgian Pro League title this year.
They meet a Mechelen side who are also hoping to improve in the league this time around after taking somewhat of a backwards step in Belgium’s top flight last season. After reaching the playoffs in the 2021-22 campaign, De Kakkers only managed a 13th-placed finish in the Pro League last year, as they picked up 40 points from their 34 matches, with Steven Defour having stepped into the hot seat in October. They did enjoy more success in the Belgian Cup. Following a run of victories in pre-season, Defour’s men would take to the field for another opportunity to secure silverware on Sunday.
