Olimpija host Cercle Brugges at the Stozice Stadium on Thursday for their clash in the UEFA Europa Conference League, aiming to make it four wins in a row in the competition. Having begun their campaign with a 2-1 loss to Heidenheim, the Slovenian outfit turned it around in style to win their next three and breathe new life into their European season.
They beat LASK and HJK in a pair of 2-0 wins, before seeing off Larne in a narrow 1-0 victory on matchday four. Such an upturn in form has seen them climb up to seventh position with nine points. As things stand, they are heading to the round of 16, and will be eager to keep the momentum going for them with another victory tomorrow.
On the other hand, Cercle Brugge are down in 11th position with two wins and a draw in four games. They've struggled for consistency in their game, and lately, it's been even worse for the side, as the Green and Black have failed to win three domestic games since their last Conference League fixture.
