Competing in European competition for the first time this century, Cercle Brugge have enjoyed a successful Conference League campaign so far, collecting 10 points from their opening five matches in the league phase.

Ferdinand Feldhofer’s side currently sit sixth in the 36-team table, level on points with four other teams, and will all but guarantee their spot in the last 16, and avoid entering the playoffs, if they secure maximum points against Istanbul Basaksehir.

Since beating Olimpija last week, Cercle Brugge were forced to come from behind and salvage a valuable point in a 1-1 draw with Gent in the Belgian Pro League last Sunday.

Two campains on from reaching the last 16 of the Conference League, Basaksehir are now in danger of failing to qualify for the knockout rounds after collecting just five points from as many matches in the league phase this season.

Victory over Heidenheim last week helped Basaksehir climb up to 24th on the 36-team table, the final available playoff spot that they are clinging onto by just one point.

Cagdas Atan’s side know that securing victory on Thursday will earn them a playoff place, but anything else could result in elimination.
