🗞️ Team News: Club Brugge

Nordin Jackers (Rib fracture), Lynnt Audoor (Torn muscle bundle) and Simon Mignolet (Injury to abdominal muscles) won’t be available for Club Brugge boss Ivan Leko. Raphael Onyedika will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

In our view, Blauw-Zwart may well make use of the 4-1-4-1 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Dani van den Heuvel, Kyriani Sabbe, Joel Ordóñez, Brandon Mechele, Joaquin Seys, Aleksandar Stankovic, Carlos Forbs Borges, Hugo Vetlesen, Hans Vanaken, Christos Tzolis and Romeo Vermant.

ℹ️ Team News: La Louviere

From our viewpoint, La Louviere appear most likely to begin the game with a 3-1-4-2 lineup, going with Marcos Peano, Maxence Maisonneuve, Yllan Okou, Djibril Lamego, Samuel Gueulette, Dario Benavides, Sami Lahssaini, Joël Ito, Nolan Gillot, Jerry Afriyie and Pape Moussa Fall.

🔮 Prediction

Our thinking is that Club Brugge will, in all likelihood, be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

In contrast, La Louviere are also probably going to find it difficult to get a goal of their own but we do fancy them managing to get on the scoresheet, too.

We’re tipping a fairly comfortable 3-1 win for Club Brugge at the end of this one.
