Prediction: 1-0
Osasuna
Club Brugge will be aiming to extend their winning run in all competitions to seven games when they take on Osasuna in the Conference League final qualifying round, second leg. Club Brugge have been producing excellent displays ever since the club chiefs reinforced the squad and it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to win the second leg. A man to watch in the home team will be Denmark international Skov Olsen, who has found his goalscoring touch, while all Jutgla, Meijer, and Sowah should miss out with injuries.
Los Rojillos, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a 2-1 win over Valencia, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the in-form Jupiler League outfit. Even though forward Chimy Avila is back from the domestic ban, home win should be considered as Club Brugge produced a much better performance than Osasuna in Pamplona a week ago.

Hans Vanaken is a Belgian footballer who was born in Neerpelt on August 24, 1992. Hans Vanaken is a product of PSV football academy, joining the club at the age of 10, but in 2008 he joined Lommel United.

In 2013 he moved to Lokeren and after spending two seasons at Daknamstadion, he signed a deal with famous Belgian team Club Brugge. Vanaken has established himself as one of the team’s key players and he is likely to play an important role in the Jan Breydel Stadium outfit in the 2019/2020 Europa League season.

Osasuna are a Basque football team that plays in Spanish La Liga. Los Rojillos are based in Pamplona and and the club were founded in 1920. Estadio El Sadar has been the home of Osasuna since 1967 and the capacity of the stadium is 19,800.
The colour of Osasuna’s home kit is red, while the team’s shorts are navy blue. Los Rojillos dropped to the Segunda Division at the end of the 2013/2014 La Liga campaign, but they did not spend too many time in the Spanish second tier. The club returned to the elite division in 2016 after beating Girona in the play-offs.
Osasuna made it to the Spanish Copa del Rey final in 2005, but they eventually lost to Real Betis after extra time in the title game. The meaning of the word Osasuna is “health” in Basque and it is used in a sense of strength.
