Cercle Brugge preview: Not in the greatest form
With eight games in a row without a win, Cercle Brugge have clearly struggled lately and their poor form was on full display in the first leg in Poland when they lost 3-0. So, Cercle Brugge already have one foot out of the competition, but their first duel with Jagiellonia was tied until Cercle Brugge got a red card, so that's a small reason for optimism.
Abu Francis, who was sent off in the first leg after a second yellow card, will miss this match to serve his ban. Meanwhile, Dalangunypole Gomis, Senna Miangue, and Abdoul Kader Ouattara are out with injuries, while Gary Magnee and Alan Minda are questionable.
Predicted lineup: Delanghe (GK), Diakite, Ravych, Perrin, Erick, Agyekum, Van der Bruggen, Magnee, Brunner, Somers & Augusto

Player to watch: Jesus Imaz
The experienced Spanish forward has been absolutely sensational this season, especially in the Polish championship where he has 13 goals and four assists to his name.
When it comes to the Conference League, Imaz has scored four goals and while Afimico Pululu is Jagiellonia's top scorer in this competition with eight goals, Imaz has overall been the team's most valuable offensive weapon this season.
