Pre-match preview

Club Brugge

Club Brugge are expected to make two enforced changes after losing Hans Vanaken and Kyriani Sabbe to injury. Vanaken is out with a hamstring problem, while Sabbe suffered an adductor injury against Aston Villa. Both started each of the previous five matches. Hugo Siquet is expected at right-back, with Romeo Vermant joining Freddie Potts in central midfield.

Carlos Forbs should continue on the right wing, where he has started four of the past five matches and supplied three assists. Hugo Vetlesen is expected in the number 10 role after starting all five of those games. Jan Virgili should also remain in the eleven after making his first start during that five-match spell against Aston Villa.

Royal Antwerp

Jules Ahoka has left Royal Antwerp after starting twice in their past five matches. Daam Foulon and Carlos Mejia are available again following their injuries, giving Marvin Compper two returning players for the trip to Club Brugge.

Maxime Busi, Álvaro Cortés and Arthur Vermeeren are expected to retain their places after starting against Standard Liège. It was the first start for each of them during Antwerp's past five matches. Busi should continue at right-back rather than Luca Schelfhout, while Cortés is expected at left centre-back ahead of Rein Van Helden. Modibo Fofana should return to central midfield after coming on against Standard Liège.
