Club Brugge were taken the distance by Finnish side Lahti in the third qualifying round, but prevailed 4-3 on aggregate. Jonathan Blondel’s late winner in the first leg eventually proved to the killer blow for Lahti. Brugge lost the first leg of their play-off round tie to Lech Poznan, but took the game to extra time in the second thanks to Wesley Sonck’s late strike.

Brugge keeper Stijn Stijnen saved two Lech penalties, thereby allowing Brugge to win the game 4-3 on spot kicks. Adrie Koster’s men drew 1-1 with Genk in their weekend game. Ivan Perisic equalised for Brugge just before half time after Thomas Buffel had put Genk ahead on 19 minutes.

Shakhtar Donetsk qualified for the group stages by beating Turkish side Sivasspor 5-0 in the play-off round. Goals from Oleksiy Gai, Ilsinho and Vasyl Kobin gave Shakhtar a 3-0 win in Sivas in the first leg. Brazilians Jadson and Luiz Adriano were on target on Donetsk as Shakhtar won 2-0 in the second leg.

Shakhtar have never won in their three previous visits to the Jan Breydel stadium. Mircea Lucescu’s side have lost once and drawn twice against their Belgian opponents. Shakhtar are currently second in the Ukrainian Premier League behind Dinamo Kiev, but Hirnyky do have a game in hand.

Can Shakhtar register their first ever win at the Jan Breydel stadium against Brugge? Or will the Belgians continue to be a thorn in Shakhtar’s flesh? Watch Club Brugge vs Shakhtar Donetsk live in the UEFA Europa League to find out.
