Prediction: 1-1
Club Brugge
Estadio El Sadar will host Thursday’s Conference League game between Osasuna and Club Brugge, the two teams who have big ambitions for the 2023/2024 campaign. Los Rojillos kicked off the new La Liga season with a 2-0 win over Celta Vigo, but Athletic Bilbao proved to be a big catch for them in the Basque derby. Both Darko Brasanac and Kike Barja remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Chimy Avila is pushing for a start.
Club Brugge, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun in both Jupiler League and Conference League qualifiers, with the team netting 22 goals in total in the last four games in all competitions. As the Belgians are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we are going to bet on both teams to score. All Jutgla, Meijer, and Sowah are likely to miss out through injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Chimy Ávila):
Popularly known as "Chimy," Ezequiel Avila 's youth career was spent playing football in Argentina at Tiro Federal. An Argentinian himself, the Rosario native signed his first professional contract with Federal in 2010 and made his debut appearance in the same year, featuring in a 2-0 away loss to Almirante Brown on the 16th of October.

In 2017, he left Lorenzo to join Spanish outfit SD Huesca on a two-year loan deal. This move marked Chimy's first time playing club football outside Argentina.
