Union SG preview: Struggling for goals
Union SG have one point fewer on the board than Club Brugge this season and in midweek they played out their third goalless draw in their last six matches.
Union were at home against Norway's Bodo/Glimt but failed to carve out a winning goal just as they did against Standard Liege and Anderlecht last month in the First Division A.
Midfielders Sofiane Boufal, Mamadou Traore, Elton Kabangu and Henok Teklab could all miss the trip to Brugge this weekend through injury.
Predicted lineup: Moris (GK), Burgess, Machida, Mac Allister, Rasmussen, Castro-Montes, Niang, Vanhoutte, Sadiki, Ivanovic & Fuseini

Player to watch: Gustaf Nilsson
Gustaf Nilsson has made a promising start to his Club Brugge career after making the move from Union SG in the summer.
The Swedish international scored 17 goals in 49 appearances across all competitions last season and has three times in the league for Club Brugge so far.
Nilsson has chipped in with goals and assists this season
We're interested to see how the former Union SG player performs against his former employers this weekend and wouldn't be surprised if the 27-year-old played his hand in the winning goal.
