Club Brugge will take on Rangers in the second leg of their Champions League playoff this week, in a huge match for both clubs.
The hosts come into the second leg with a two-goal advantage following their 3-1 win at Ibrox last week and will now fancy their chances of finishing the job on Wednesday.
Rangers, meanwhile, are facing an early-season crisis with bad results being combined with dressing room disarray.

Correct score prediction: Club Brugge 3-1 Rangers
Club Brugge rolled Rangers over 3-1 in Glasgow last week and we are backing them to repeat that performance and scoreline on home soil. The hosts have been excellent in the build up to this fixture, while Russell Martin is already fighting an uphill battle at Glasgow. A tough European tie away is the last thing the former Southampton boss wants.

Club Brugge preview: First leg heroes are doubts
Club Brugge are set to be without Romeo Vermant, who scored in the first leg last week, while Raphael Onyedika, who was one of their best performers on the night, is also a doubt. Wednesday night could mark Christos Tzolis' final appearance for the club with a big move across Europe on the cards. If it is, he will be keen to sign off in style.
Predicted lineup: Mignolet (GK), Sabbe, Spileers, Mechele, Seys, Onyedika, Vanaken, Stankovic, Tresoldi, Tzolis

Rangers preview: Troubles everywhere for Martin
After refusing to come off the bench at the weekend, Hamza Igamane is almost certainly going to be left out on Wednesday night. The issue for Martin is that fellow striker Cyriel Dessers is also unavailable due to a knee injury. Dujon Sterling is also out injured for the Scottish side.
Predicted lineup: Butland (GK), Tavernier, Souttar, Djiga, Meghoma, Rothwell, Diomande, Raskin, Antman, Danilo, Gassama

Player to watch: Djeidi Gassama
Djeidi Gassama has been a rare bright spark so far this season for Rangers, with the new signing scoring four goals in five Champions League appearances so far. The 21-year-old is yet to produce the same form domestically, but for now, Rangers will be happy that they have at least one player performing in attacking areas.
