Club Brugge and Borussia Dortmund will hope to carry their domestic form into Matchday 1 as they look to get off to a perfect start in the revamped Champions League group stage.
With 36 teams competing in one league this season, each team will play eight matches in the battle to progress to the last 16.
After a slow start in the Belgian Pro League, the hosts are bound to be full of confidence after winning four games on the spin.
Dortmund, meanwhile, have picked up seven points from their first three Bundesliga games and will fancy their chances of leaving Belgium with three points.

Club Brugge vs Borussia Dortmund Preview
After suffering defeat in the Belgian Super Cup, Club Brugge picked up just one point from their opening three league games.
But they have since recorded four wins on the spin, including a 3-0 success over ground-sharing rivals Cercle Brugge.
With clean sheets in their last two outings, Nicky Hayen’s side are on a role and home advantage could prove decisive on Matchday 1.
Dortmund have played half the number of games the hosts have but are already looking in good shape.
Home wins over Eintracht Frankfurt and Heidenheim were sandwiched either side of a goalless draw at Werder Bremen, which suggests they still have a little work to do on their travels.
