📋 Team News: Club Brugge
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the Club Brugge manager Nicky Hayen to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Bjorn Meijer (Knee surgery) misses out.
We are thinking that Blauw-Zwart look set to kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, handing starts to Simon Mignolet, Joaquin Seys, Zaid Abner Romero, Brandon Mechele, Maxim De Cuyper, Hugo Vetlesen, Raphael Onyedika, Andreas Skov Olsen, Christos Tzolis, Hans Vanaken and Gustaf Nilsson.
🗞️ Team News: Borussia Dortmund
Out of a mainly full-strength squad, there is only the one fitness issue for the Borussia Dortmund manager Nuri Şahin to be concerned with. Giovanni Reyna (Groin strain) won’t be playing here.
We believe Dortmund could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Gregor Kobel, Julian Ryerson, Waldemar Anton, Niklas Suele, Yan Couto, Pascal Gross, Emre Can, Donyell Malen, Julian Brandt, Karim Adeyemi and Serhou Guirassy.
🔮 Prediction
We’re of the view that Club Brugge will need to apply a lot of pressure to score against this Borussia Dortmund team who we reckon should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a hard-fought 0-1 advantage for Borussia Dortmund after 90 minutes.
Should be a close one.
