Club Brugge are making their presence known in Europe's premier club competition this season. The Belgian side defeated AS Monaco 4-1 during the opening round of matches and came agonisingly close to an historic victory over LaLiga giants Barcelona more recently. Club drew 3-3 at the Jan Breydel Stadium and if not for a late VAR intervention ruling out a fourth home goal, would have taken all three points from Hansi Flick's side.

Starting with the hosts, signing off the 2024/25 campaign in the midst of a public nightmare, St. Liege have once again shown a string of glaring issues since opening up the new season. Remarkably failing to win any of their final 13 consecutive Pro League appearances last year, Les Rouches have rightfully come under serious scrutiny. With some in Vincent Euvard's camp starting to worry that they could face a real battle to keep hold of their top-flight status,

Slumping to consecutive 2-0 losses against St. Truiden and Anderlecht last month, Dender have lost all of their previous four straight Pro League appearances by an aggregate score of 8-1. Yet to record a single top-flight victory since opening up the new campaign, Saturday's hosts should also be concerned by their most recent showdown against the defending champions. Hit with a 4-1 drumming when they last met Les Unionistes back on March 1st, it should also be noted that Dender have failed to notch a single strike in Denderleeuw so far this season.
