Player to watch: Christos Tzolis
Christos Tzolis put in a solid performance when these teams clashed last month, scoring a brace in Club Brugge's 3-0 victory. Although the Greek midfielder has an impressive eight direct goal involvements in his last 11 appearances across all competitions, he did not score or register an assist in any of his last five matches. Tzolis will look to get back to scoring ways this weekend.
