Club Brugge are a resilient side as seen in their earlier matches and will be tested throughout this clash.
We expect the hosts to nick this one as they are in home comforts and are under pressure to deliver but Club Brugge will put on a show to make this a tight affair.
Players to watch out for: Mahrez, De Bruyne, Vanaken and Lang.
