🗞️ Team News: KAA Gent

Leonardo Lopes (Knee injury), Maksim Paskotsi (Ankle injury), Gilles De Meyer (Shoulder injury), Abdoul Ayinde (unknown injury), Mohammed El Âdfaoui (Broken foot) and Matisse Samoise (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be available for KAA Gent gaffer Rik De Mil.

It seems likely that De Buffalo's may well make use of the 3-4-3 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Davy Roef, Daiki Hashioka, Matties Volckaert, Siebe Van Der Heyden, Jean-Kevin Duverne, Aimé Omgba, Tibe De Vlieger, Tiago Araújo, Michal Skoras, Wilfried Kanga and Hyllarion Goore.

📋 Team News: Club Brugge

Club Brugge boss Ivan Leko has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Simon Mignolet (Hamstring injury) and Kyriani Sabbe (Ankle sprain) are not ready for selection.

We are inclined to think that Blauw-Zwart could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Nordin Jackers, Hugo Siquet, Joel Ordóñez, Brandon Mechele, Joaquin Seys, Aleksandar Stankovic, Hans Vanaken, Carlos Forbs Borges, Hugo Vetlesen, Christos Tzolis and Nicolo Tresoldi.

🔮 Prediction

Our feeling is that Club Brugge have the ability to create a good amount of chances and successful shots on target.

Conversely, KAA Gent won’t find it easy getting on the scoresheet but we think it’s quite likely that they will be converting at least once as well.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 1-3 victory for Club Brugge at the end of this one.
