They came away from that fixture with 28% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Club Brugge managed 21 attempts on goal, with 10 on target.
Miron Muslic will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 10 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 10 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.
