Last five H2Hs: The second meeting between these teams

Molde and Club Brugge have never met before last week, when Molde won the first leg 2-1. That was Molde's only second win against Belgian teams in seven matches, along with three losses and two draws. Meanwhile, Club Brugge have a record of 6-2-5 against Norwegian teams.

Club Brugge preview: Can they turn the tie around?

After finishing the group stages with five wins and a draw, Club Brugge were free in the first knockout round, but their dominance didn't continue in the first duel with Molde in Norway, which they lost 2-1. The team has been a bit inconsistent in the Belgian league lately and their form is far from great.

Meanwhile, Club Brugge will be without injured Simon Mignolet, Antonio Nusa, Eder Balanta, and Igor Thiago.

Player to watch: Andreas Skov Olsen

With 10 goals and four assists in the Belgian league, Andreas Skov Olsen is the team's second top scorer, only behind Thiago, so we can see the Danish forward doing well in this match too, especially since he also has six goals in Europe this season.

Another goal from the left foot?

With only two of his 16 goals this season not coming from a left-footed shot, we can see that Olsen is not very versatile, though his left foot is clearly lethal.
