Club Bruges are wary of their next opponent in the Champions League. According to Le Figaro, after their exploit against Inter Milan, the Belgian club fear a 'trap match' against Lens.

The fixture, scheduled for Wednesday evening, has been classified as high-risk by Belgian authorities, according to RMC Sport and So Foot, due to a rivalry between supporters. Police are on heightened alert, reports Voetbalkrant.

Furthermore, according to Voetbalkrant, French media are highlighting a serious squad problem for Lens ahead of this clash, particularly in defence.
