In an otherwise healthy squad, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Club Brugge gaffer Nicky Hayen to be concerned with. Joaquin Seys (Partial muscle tear) misses out for this game.

✨ Prediction

Our thinking is that Club Brugge have the ability to convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

In contrast, KAA Gent might well find it difficult to break down their defence but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be scoring as well.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 1-3 winning score for Club Brugge at the end of this one.
