Just a single goal conceded
Hannover 96 in their four Bundesliga matches in 2012, are unbeaten for eight matches now. But while they do very well in defence these days, they often have problems to score, therefore signed Mame Diouf from Manchester United recently. Hannover are usually a strong home side, could beat Sevilla 2:1 in Europa League qualification, but only drew at home against Standard Liege (0:0) and FC Copenhagen (2:2) in group stage.
After quite a bad start to the season
Club Brugge engaged former Bundesliga coach Christoph Daum in November. Under Daum the team started to play far more defensively. And even though his side got beaten 0:3 at league leader RSC Anderlecht in January, they meanwhile moved up to the second place of the Belgium Jupiler League, just won 3:1 at KAA Gent on Sunday. In their Europa League group Brugge could win 2:1 at Sporting Braga and turned a 0:3 deficit in Maribor into a 4:3 victory. Important defensive midfielder Vadis Odjidja will miss the match due to an injury.

Both teams have their strengths in defence, so we probably won't see many goals.
(Also a 0:0 wouldn't be the worst result for Hannover)
