Mignolet, Mata, Hendry, Nsoki, Sobol, Rits, Balanta, Vanaken, De Ketelaere, Dost and Lang
Prediction: PSG 2-1 Club Brugge
PSG can take this easy given that they have qualified. Hence, we do not see much intensity from the home side to get the job done.
Brugge have something to play for and could go and give it a crack, but given the quality in the PSG ranks, we expect the hosts to come out victors.
Players to watch out for: Di Maria, Wijnaldum, Lang and Vanaken.
