------------------------------
Club Brugge look to secure their spot in the Champions League playoffs as they return home after a narrow 1-0 away win over Red Bull Salzburg in the first leg.

Team Analysis:
Club Brugge, missing direct Champions League entry after finishing second in Belgium, are close to reaching the playoffs after a narrow win over Salzburg. Despite a recent domestic loss, they’ve been strong overall this season with solid defensive performances.
Salzburg, once dominant in Austria, have struggled recently but bounced back with a big win before the second leg. Still, they face a tough task to avoid missing the Champions League group stage for the first time since 2018-19.

Player Situation:
Club Brugge have most players fit except for two attackers, but key performers Vermant, Tzolis, and veteran Vanaken remain crucial. Goalkeeper Mignolet is expected to start, though defender Ordonez may miss due to injury.
Salzburg face a major injury crisis with up to nine players out, including key striker Onisiwo. Yorbe Vertessen and Dorgeles Nene are set to lead their attack despite these setbacks.

Result Prediction:
Salzburg’s recent strong attack comes just in time, but their aggressive style risks exposing them to Club Brugge’s counterattacks. Club Brugge’s experience at home is expected to secure their win and send Salzburg to the Europa League.

Predicted Result: Club Brugge 2-1 Red Bull Salzburg.
