Club Brugge
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Besiktas
All eyes will be on Jan Breydel Stadion when Club Brugge and Besiktas go head to head in a highly-anticipated Conference League game. Club Brugge aim to build on a 4-2 win over Charleroi and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Defender Bjorn Meijer misses out with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. The opposition back-line should have Denmark winger Skov Olsen at bay.
The Turks, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to Trabzonspor. Since key attacker Vincent Aboubakar returns from suspension, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Defender Tayyip Talha Sanuc remains on the sidelines with injury. In each of their last three meetings in all competitions both teams managed to find net, which goes in favour of our prediction.
Highlighted Player (Simon Mignolet):
Simon Luc Hildebert Mignolet is a Belgium goalkeeper born on 6 March 1988 in Sint-Truiden. He began his career in a club from his hometown, making 100 league appearances for Sint-Truidense before moving to Sunderland in 2010.
Mignolet would go on to spent next four years at the Stadium of Light, making 90 Premier League appearances. As one of world’s most talented goalkeepers, the Belgium international signed for Liverpool in the summer of 2013, and he has since been the club’s first choice goalkeeper. Performing admirably most of the time, but also committing cheap mistakes at times, Mignolet has yet to win over the Liverpool fans, but remains highly regarded in his native country.
The talented shot-stopper has been a member of the Belgium national team since 2011, earning over 20 caps for the Red Devils, but he has been playing second fiddle to Chelsea star Thibaut Courtois over the last few years.
Highlighted Team (Besiktas):
Besiktas football club is one of the most successful teams in Turkey. Since its foundation in 1903, Besiktas have never been relegated to a lower rank of Turkish football. Black Eagles as they are known in Turkey play their matches at the Vodafone Arena in Istanbul which is an almost 42,000 all-seater capacity venue.

Besiktas have played in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League four times already, and are yet to progress through to the knockout sgateg in the competition that was established in today’s format in 1992.
