Club Brugge hosts PAOK in the first quarterfinal leg of the Europa Conference League. They are the favorites, but PAOK is a very tough rival on the rise. Greeks won’t back down from a proper fight, despite playing on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Club Brugge has received a massive morale boost ahead of this event, with them confidently beating one of their biggest rivals, Anderlecht, 3-1. The week before, we saw them playing 1-1 against the archenemies, Cercle Brugge; therefore, Nicky Hayen’s crew got used to playing intense games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past few seasons, Brugges’ contests were efficient. It’s the same now. Seven of the latest ten have seen three or more hits, and the same number of events witnessed goals on both ends of the field. The team is very confident at Jan Breydel Stadium, having five wins in the past six appearances.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
