Club Brugge enter the match as favorites at home, riding the momentum from their 1-0 first-leg win over Red Bull Salzburg, courtesy of Romeo Vermant’s 75th-minute strike. Despite a recent 2-1 domestic loss to Mechelen, Blauw-Zwart have been in solid form, winning four of their last five matches across all competitions, including a 2-0 victory over city rivals Cercle Brugge.
Red Bull Salzburg, meanwhile, are looking to overturn the deficit after a third consecutive game without a win last week. However, they bounced back with a convincing 5-0 win over Grazer AK, showcasing their attacking potential. The Austrian side faces significant injury challenges, with up to nine players potentially sidelined, including key figures like Karim Onisiwo and Karim Konate.
