Club Brugge cannot go to full strength to northern Italy. Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet (muscle tear adductors), changed early against Monaco, and Raphael Onyedika (Hamstrings) are on the side for a long time. Nicky Hayen can count on Romeo Vermant again and he immediately scored the winning goal on Sclessin (1-2) on Saturday. That only happened in injury time, when Standard had been with ten for half an hour. Union had a better general rehearsal this weekend. It didn’t have to go all the way for 2-0 win against Westerlo and can go to Jan Breydel on Sunday with a six-point lead for the top of the tenth match day.
