Club Brugge KV hosts Manchester City in round 3 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 19th at Jan Breydel Stadion (Brugge)
Club Brugge KV pleasantly surprised football experts in the previous two matches of the Champions League group stage. First, the champions of Belgium took points from PSG at home (1-1) and then beat RB Leipzig away (1-2). It is noteworthy that Hans Vanaken scored a goal in each of those games. Today Philippe Clement's charges are on the 2nd line in the group standings. They have four points in their assets. But given the level of opponents (Manchester City, PSG, and RB Leipzig), even the 3rd position will be more than a good result for Club Brugge KV. The Blue-Blacks continue their unbeaten streak in the Champions League. It has been going on since the last draw of the tournament and already amounts to four games (two victories and two draws). However, Club Brugge KV gained only one victory in the previous seven home matches in the Champions League.

After two rounds, Manchester City is only in 3rd place in the group standings. Nevertheless, Guardiola's charges are rightly considered almost the main contenders for victory in the group, as well as in the entire tournament. In the first match of the Champions League group stage, the Citizens beat RB Leipzig with a score of 6-3. But then they suffered an away defeat from PSG (2-0). There is one interesting fact. Manchester City has already conceded five goals in the Champions League. Only three teams conceded more (Barcelona, Sporting, and Malmo). In the last ten away matches in the Champions League, the Sky-Blues lost only once and gained seven victories and two draws.
In the previous two matches, no one bet on Club Brugge KV, but the team took points from much stronger opponents. Will the Black-Blues be able to earn points again? Of course, there are some chances, but they tend to be zero. In order for the hosts to count on a positive result for themselves, they must surprise Guardiola and the company with something. But I think that after the victory over RB Leipzig and a draw against PSG, Pep is ready for surprises from the Belgians. However, the hosts will fight to the last, so I offer you to bet on an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
