Osasuna and Club Brugge are set to compete in the playoff round as they aim to secure a spot in the group stage of the Europa Conference League. For the initial leg, Osasuna, the Spanish team, will enjoy the advantage of playing at their home stadium, El Sadar. After a 16-year absence from UEFA competitions, Osasuna is finally on the verge of ending their wait for European football. This achievement follows their seventh-place finish in the previous season.
Osasuna began the current season with an away victory over Celta Vigo. Nevertheless, they approach Thursday’s match on the heels of a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday. Club Brugge, having spent the last two seasons in Champions League competition, is now contending in the Europa Conference League following their fourth-place finish last season. Unlike their upcoming opponents, Club Brugge has already won two qualifying rounds.
Ronny Deila’s team enters the first leg with impressive momentum, having convincingly defeated RWDM Brussels with a promising 7-1 scoreline on Sunday. This victory marks their fifth consecutive win across various competitions. Notably, Club Brugge has scored no fewer than five goals in each of their four recent matches, showcasing the offensive power at Deila’s disposal. As they head into the upcoming match, Club Brugge aims to secure their first-ever competitive victory against a Spanish team on foreign soil.
