With the anxious opening fixture finished it’s time for the second Pro League clash of the season. Westerlo are eager to welcome Club Brugge in front of their home following.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa Conference League. That game was also an away game, at AGF. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
