Bruges just finished the league derby, one day less rest

Bruges' last game was against their city rivals Cercle Bruges. The team took this derby very seriously. They basically did not rotate players, but played with all the main players.

After the game, some players were even thrown bottles and spitted by extreme fans. And this game will be one day later than Aston Villa's last game, Bruges will have less rest time, and Bruges, who consume more in this game, may be limited in their performance.
