Club Brugge had a free weekend ahead of this game and will feel fresher than LASK, who had a league game back at home, beating Rapid Wien 2 – 1. For Brugge it has been a good start to the season so far, and they have not lost any of their last 10 matches across all competitions, stretching back to preseason and they have failed to score in just one of their last 15 matches. With five clean sheets in their last six matches, Brugge will feel they have what it takes to face the LASK challenge. They haven’t lost in their last seven Champions League matches, winning three and drawing four, while keeping five clean sheets and failing to score in just two of the seven. It has not been all good at home in the Champions League though; Club Brugge have picked just two wins in their last 12 and just two clean sheets in 14. On their part, LASK have lost just two of their last 15 matches across all competitions but with only five clean sheets in the run, they will have to look at ways of improving in defence. Their last 12 away matches have all been competitive and LASK have lost just one, and won 10. The task they have at hand is to transform that run to the Champions League, as they play just their fourth Champions League match in history. They picked back to back wins over Basel and here they will be eyeing the same.
