The hosts score regularly

Club Brugge have not lost in four consecutive matches, and in ten consecutive games they have scored at least one goal. Most recently in the Champions League, the team won 4–3 at the San Siro against Inter Milan.

Absences on both sides

According to Sports Mole, Lens will have to cope without Maik Nawrocki, who has a knee problem, and Abdallah Sima, who suffered a leg injury. Both are out for longer. Jonathan Gradit has started individual training, but is unlikely to play in Brugge. On the hosts' side, Joel Ordóñez will be missing with an injury.

Lens: matches with goals at both ends
