Hosts in Great Shape
Club Brugge are one of the hottest teams across Europe right now, claiming five consecutive victories across competitions, which includes one big scalp last week.
The Blue and Blacks were labelled big underdogs at Guiseppe Meazza against Inter Milan, but got away with a 4-3 thriller victory, veteran goalkeeper Yan Sommer having nine saves, while Nicolo Tresoldi scored a hat-trick.
Brugge extended their winning run last weekend with a 1-0 home victory against Sporting Lokeren in the Belgian Cup, ending this clash with 61% possession and 13-3 shots on target.
Mixed Results for the French Side
After earning a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory against Slavia in Prague in the UCL main stage opener, Lens had a disappointing performance last week, losing to Sporting Lisbon 2-0 in front of the home crowd.
The Blood & Gold had 1.51-1.67 expected goals, 56% possession and 21-11 shots in this clash. The only goal chance they created was missed by striker Franjo Ivanovic.
Lens returned to winning ways last weekend, beating Troyes 3-1 on the road. Florian Thauvin was named man of the match, providing assists for Odsonne Edouard and Ruben Aguilar.
