International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Club Brugge and Beşiktaş are looking forward to this Europa Conference League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
Beşiktaş have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Super Lig game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Trabzonspor. 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.
Club Brugge form and stats
Last season, Club Brugge's Champions League journey ended in the round of 16 against Benfica.Seven points from three Pro League home games is a great start for Club Brugge, who are hoping to build on that form here at Jan Breydelstadion.
A nice win for Brugge last time playing, versus Sporting Charleroi. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-2 with Nusa, Mechele, Thiago and Jutglà scoring for the victors. A goal frenzy last time out for Club Brugge, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Sporting Charleroi. Fun stuff to watch! Mechele, defender, was given a rating of 7.91/10 in that game, top of the team. Mechele scored one goal and won 6 of 9 duels.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Gent (1-2).The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Brugge have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Club Brugge as they are travelling to their away game against Anderlecht in the Pro League. That match is three days after this one.
Club Brugge always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Jan Breydelstadion with 12 goals in 3 league games. On the other hand, Club Brugge have conceded 4 goals.
Beşiktaş form and stats
Things could have gone better for Beşiktaş in their Super Lig away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
There might be some fixture complaints from Beşiktaş as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-3 against Trabzonspor. Defender Uysal was the best team player with a rating of 7.02. Uysal won 10 of 12 duels.
A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Fatih Karagumruk.A quick return to home after this game, as Beşiktaş are hosting Kayserispor in the Super Lig only three days away.
{1 goals} so far away for Beşiktaş, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Head to head data (for the previous three meetings): Club Brugge won two games, zero matches ended with a draw and Beşiktaş have one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / zero.
