Manchester City hosts Club Brugge KV in round 4 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 3rd at Etihad Stadium (Manchester)
Manchester City footballers have far from the best mood. In the last match of the English Premier League, the Citizens lost to Crystal Palace at home with a score of 0-2. After that misfire, the team dropped to 3rd place in the championship standings. In the Champions League, Guardiola's charges will surely try to make amends for their failure last weekend. Let me remind you that the Sky Blues have six points after three matches in the group stage and take second place in the standings. They lag only behind PSG, which has one point more. In the last 16 matches in the Champions League, Manchester City suffered only two defeats, gaining 13 victories and one draw. At home, the team has an unbeaten streak of 13 games: 12 victories and one draw.

Club Brugge KV is at the top of the Belgian Jupiler League standings. As for the Champions League group, Clement's charges are on the 3rd line, which is actually good for them, given the opponents they have to face (Manchester City, PSG, and Leipzig). Let me remind you that the Blue-Blacks have four points. The gap from the 4th place is the same four points. This is not to say that the Champions League is the tournament in which Club Brugge KV shines. In the last 15 matches, it gained only three victories and six draws and suffered six defeats. Interestingly, Brugge has very solid statistics in away Champions League games. In the last 11 cases, the Blue-Blacks lost only two times (four wins and five draws).
With all due respect to Club Brugge KV, it has very little chance of winning the upcoming game. Still, its opponent is not just very strong but also extremely motivated. Of course, the Citizens will make every effort to make amends for the recent home defeat to Crystal Palace (0-2). The visitors are likely to be more careful near their penalty area than they were in the first game against Manchester City. But I think the hosts should score 3-4 goals at their native stadium.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to score over 2.5 goals
