Club Brugge host Lens at Jan Breydelstadion on Wednesday, October 21 (3:00 PM ET \/ 2:00 PM CT \/ 12:00 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s no fresh team news muddying the water here, with both clubs able to pick from a fully available squad. For Club Brugge that should mean Nicol\u00f2 Tresoldi leading the line after his 4 goals in just 173 minutes since arriving, with Carlos Forbs and Hugo Vetlesen expected to supply him \u2014 Forbs already has 6 chances created and 2 assists to his name, Vetlesen a goal and 2 chances created of his own. Lens, with a clean bill of health, will build around Florian Thauvin in the attacking midfield role, with Abdallah Sima and Ruben Aguilar both already off the mark in front of him.<\/p>\n

This one looks set to open up rather than tighten. Brugge’s last two matches have produced seven goals and five goals respectively, with the opponent scoring in both, and Lens have conceded in each of their last two fixtures as well. Thauvin has had 11 shots and created 13 chances already this season, so Lens won’t be short of chances of their own, but Tresoldi’s early scoring rate gives Brugge the sharper edge in the boxes that matter.<\/p>\n
