Club Brugge

Club Brugge are coming off a Champions League game encounter against AC Milan, which ended in defeat. In that game, Christian Pulisic put AC Milan in the lead from a direct corner kick. While Kyriani Sabbe pulled one back for Club Brugge in that game to level the score, a second-half brace by Tijjani Reijnders was enough to seal a win for their opponent.

Heading into this game, Club Brugge sit 5th in the league standings, scoring 18 goals and conceding 13.

Anderlecht secured a win over Ludogorets in a Europa League game the previous time out and will look to replicate that performance here. In that game, Samuel Edozie and Anders Dreyer’s strikes were enough to secure a win for this team. In the meantime, Anderlecht's prior league encounter was against Beerschot VA, and they lost 2-1. This season, this team has accumulated 17 league points from a possible 33. However, they scored 14 goals in that run while conceding 10, leaving them seated 6th spot.
