🗞️ Team News: Eupen

The Eupen boss Bernd Storck will be happy not to have any fitness worries whatsoever before this match thanks to a completely injury-free group available for selection.

It looks as if Pandas should make use of the 3-5-2 system for this game, utilising Abdul Manaf Nurudeen, Jerome Deom, Jan Kral, Boris Lambert, Yentl Van Genechten, Gary Magnée, Stef Peeters, I. Christie-Davies, Jason Davidson, Isaac Nuhu and Lorenzo Offermann.

🗞️ Team News: Club Brugge

Club Brugge boss Carl Hoefkens has some current player fitness concerns. Tajon Buchanan (Muscle Injury), Antonio Nusa (Muscle Injury) and Mats Rits (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We’re of the thinking that Blauw-Zwart might make use of a 3-1-4-2 system, going with Simon Mignolet, Clinton Mata, Brandon Mechele, Stanley Nsoki, Noah Mbamba, Andreas Skov Olsen, Hans Vanaken, Ruud Vormer, Bjorn Meijer, Ferran Jutglà and Noa Lang.

We’re predicting a pretty comfortable 1-3 winning margin for Club Brugge when all’s said and done.
