Club Brugge

Club Brugge remain without Joel Ordóñez, who is sidelined with a broken metatarsal. Brandon Mechele and Jorne Spileers are therefore expected to start in central defence, with Kyriani Sabbe likely to continue ahead of Hugo Siquet at right-back. Hugo Vetlesen, who has scored three goals in his last four starts, was among the substitutes against Lens before coming on and is expected to return to the side.

Jan Virgili has started all five recent matches and Nicolò Tresoldi has begun four, with both substituted in each of those starts. Carlos Forbs has contributed two goals and two assists during the same period, while Hans Vanaken has one goal and two assists.

STVV

Samed Baždar is expected to return to lead STVV's attack after being restricted to a late substitute appearance in the midweek trip to Midtjylland, with Frédéric Soèllé Soèllé, who scored twice in his first start in that game, expected to drop back out of the side. Shogo Taniguchi is also expected to return at right centre-back after missing that match entirely, with Visar Musliu continuing alongside him.

Winger Arbnor Muja, who returned from a hamstring injury as a substitute in midweek, is available again after the lay-off. STVV have won only once in their last five league matches and travel to Club Brugge sitting 12th on eight points.
