As I understand it, even with the playoffs system, this is an important game - the bigger USG's points lead before the playoffs, the better position they'll be in for the playoffs.
Yup, just looked at what happened last season:
Club Brugge ended the regular season with 76 points. Then Antwerp on 60, Anderlecht 58, and Genk 56.
That then converted to starting the playoffs as follows:
Brugge 38 points
Antwerp 30 points
Anderlecht 29 points
Genk 28 points
That 10 point advantage Brugge had over Genk ended up being pivotal: Genk absolutely stormed the playoffs (5 wins from 6 played), but ended tied for points with Brugge and Brugge won it on tiebreaker.
So tonight is still a big game for USG. Every 2 points earned in the regular season is worth 1 for the playoffs, and going into the playoffs with a points advantage is, well ... an advantage worth having.

The pair aren’t even warming the bench, perhaps they have Covid? USG’s bench looks very light on numbers.

It’s a good system for a play off and keeps teams fighting for every point and not resting players, even if they may have already mathematically qualified. Shame we didn’t have something like this in 15/16!

Vanzeir through with just the keeper to beat and fluffed his lines. Not sure how he did that. All USG atm.

Half time music Anne Clark! FFS! I love Anne Clark!
Hesgoal is a ruin tonight. The commentary (in English) and the vid are so out of synch only LSD could make it intelligible.
It’s about 15 seconds….took me a while to work out WTF was going on
Have you worked out what's going on?
No, I turned it off, too annoying
Watching bigears bum around the Galapagos instead
