Club Brugge is looking to maintain their winning streak against Anderlecht at Lotto Park on May 3, 2026. The team recently appointed Ivan Leko as manager after parting ways with Nicky Hayen. This change comes as they aim to build on their current momentum.

Ivan Leko expressed his feelings about the transition: “It was very fast and emotional. I haven’t slept in two days. This is a big challenge.” The upcoming match is crucial for both teams, as it could define the trajectory of their seasons.
The stakes are high at Lotto Park as Club Brugge looks to solidify its position in the league while Anderlecht aims for redemption after recent setbacks.
