Club Brugge preview: Eyeing their third consecutive victory
A 75th-minute strike from Romeo Vermant away in Austria last week handed Club Brugge an early advantage going into this meeting.
Besides the attacking duo of Gustaf Nilsson (Achilles) and Michal Skoras (knock), Nicky Hayen will have all of his men available for this meeting, giving him the opportunity to field his strongest XI.
Christos Tzolis, Hugo Vetlesen and Vermant are expected to be in the final third, while veteran attacking midfielder Hans Vanaken pulls the strings in the number 10 role, with Raphael Onyedika as the single pivot.
Predicted lineup: Mignolet (GK), Meijer, Mechele, Spileers, Seys, Vanaken, Onyedika, Reis, Tzolis, Vermant & Vetlesen.

Christos Tzolis' fine form continued last weekend, as he scored in Club Brugge's 2-0 victory over Cercle Brugge. The Greek midfielder has four goal contributions in his last five appearances and will fancy his chances against Feyenoord.
