Club Brugge, an 18-time Belgium champion, will face off against PAOK, a three-time Greek league winner, in the first leg of the Europa Conference League Quarterfinals at Jan Breydel Stadion in Brugge. Club Brugge were not on an expected level in the domestic competitions as they were eliminated from the Cup Semi-Finals and finished the regular phase of the Jupiler Pro League 4th with a 19-point deficit over the first-placed Royale Union SG. However, the rules for the Playoffs were favorable for them, and after changing the coach, they started playing well and closed the gap to only five points! So, they are very much alive, even though the situation looked disastrous only two rounds ago. On the other hand, Club Brugge have been good throughout the season in the ECL. In a fairly even group with Bodo, Besiktas and Lugano, they won first place with a great 16 points. They come into this match after a great game and a 3-1 win against Anderlecht and their morale is certainly at a very high level. PAOK are having a really good season so far, especially in the Europa Conference League, where they have won six of eight games, group and knockout phases combined. They are doing well in the domestic league as well, considering they are at the top of the league with only six rounds left. However, with only a one-point advantage over the second-placed AEK, nothing is decided yet and until the end of the season, every game is very important to them. They very surely won the first place in the ECL group stage, like Club Brugge they won 16 points. Both teams score a large number of goals in the last matches and it can easily happen that we see more than 2.5 goals. Club Brugge is playing very well at home and has scored at least two goals in eight of the last 10 games. The difference in quality between these two teams is very small and I believe that the nuances will decide the game. However, playing at home is also an important factor, so I give a slight advantage to Club Brugge.

18次获得比利时冠军的俱乐部布鲁日将在布鲁日的简布雷德尔球场与三次获得希腊联赛冠军的PAOK进行欧联杯1 / 4决赛的首回合比赛。布鲁日俱乐部在国内比赛中没有达到预期的水平，他们在杯赛半决赛中被淘汰，并以落后第一名皇家联盟SG 19分的劣势以第四名结束了Jupiler职业联赛的常规阶段。然而，季后赛的规则对他们有利，换了教练后，他们开始打得很好，把差距缩小到只有5分!所以，尽管两轮比赛前形势看起来很糟糕，但他们仍然活得很好。另一方面，布鲁日俱乐部在整个赛季的欧洲联赛中都表现不错。在与博多、贝西克塔斯和卢加诺势均力敌的小组中，他们以16分的好成绩夺得了第一名。他们在经历了一场精彩的比赛并3:1战胜安德莱赫特之后来到了这场比赛，他们的士气当然非常高。到目前为止，PAOK有一个非常好的赛季，特别是在欧联杯联赛中，他们在小组赛和淘汰赛阶段共8场比赛中赢了6场。考虑到他们在联赛仅剩6轮的情况下排名榜首，他们在国内联赛中也做得很好。然而，在只领先第二名AEK 1分的情况下，一切都还没有定论，直到赛季结束，每一场比赛对他们来说都很重要。他们毫无疑问在欧冠小组赛中获得了第一名，就像布鲁日一样，他们获得了16分。两支球队在最近的比赛中都进了很多球，我们很容易看到超过2.5个进球。布鲁日在主场踢得很好，在最近10场比赛中有8场至少进了2球。这两支球队在质量上的差别很小，我相信这些细微差别将决定比赛的结果。然而，主场比赛也是一个重要因素，所以我认为布鲁日会有一点优势。
