Cercle Brugge face Víkingur Reykjavík in their second match of the Conference League on Thursday evening. In their opening game of the competition the Belgian side put six goals past St Gallen to win 6-2. They go into their second clash having left a handful of key players at home. The experienced Hannes Van der Bruggen, Alan Minda and Christiaan Ravych will all remain in Belgium. Given the sides poor start to the domestic season, they are likely being saved for the sides clash with Union St Gilloise at the weekend.
