Not good news for Club Brugge ahead of a crucial match in the Conference League – Football News

On Thursday evening, Club Brugge will once again face a very important match. The conference league is the only thing left for Blauw-Zwart to save the season. However, Klopp is missing an important factor: the mobile Jan Breydel.

12,000. This is the number of fans who obtained a ticket two days before the decisive match against Molde, according to Het Nieuwsblad. However, the Conference League is the only chance Ronnie Deila's troops still have to win an award this season.

A day before the start of the qualifiers, the club is 18 points behind Union. A gap that is almost impossible to catch. Two weeks ago, the club was sent back to West Flanders by the people of Brussels due to serious implications in the cup.

So, it is now or never up to Club Brugge if they still want to inject some color into their season, but in a half-empty stadium that will be no easy task.

Molde is not an international team. On the contrary, in fact. Just over a year ago, Klopp would likely have made firewood from this team in the pre-Parker era. Things haven't gone well under Hofkins, but at least fans can still enjoy great European evenings.

But times are changing. And the audience feels it too. Disappointing results, poor play and exorbitant ticket prices ensure that the stadium will only be half full.

The board were hoping the 12th man would shout their club to victory, but €27 may be a bridge too far, even for the loyal fans.
