Brugge take on the visitors Sporting Lisbon in the round 6 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 10th at Jan Breydel Stadion (Brugge).
The "Black and Blues" are in impressive form, remaining unbeaten in their last ten matches. Out of these, they’ve secured eight victories and only two draws. Currently, Brugge has solidified their position in second place in the Belgian Pro League and faces league leaders Genk next, with odds of 1.65 favoring Brugge for that clash. In the Champions League, Brugge recently drew 1-1 away against Celtic, despite leading at halftime and having chances to win the match. Additionally, they secured a notable 1-0 home victory over Aston Villa, showcasing their defensive resilience and ability to capitalize on key moments. Under the guidance of Nicky Hayen, Brugge is playing with confidence, regularly finding the net—they’ve scored in 16 consecutive matches. Against Sporting CP tomorrow, the West Flanders club is expected to deliver another strong performance and remain in contention for a Champions League playoff spot. Playing at home gives Brugge a significant edge, especially against a Sporting side dealing with multiple setbacks.

Sporting CP, on the other hand, is navigating a difficult period. After a crushing 1-5 home defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League, the "Green and Whites" suffered two further losses in the Portuguese league—0-1 against Santa Clara at home and 1-2 away to Moreirense. Injuries have compounded their troubles. Key midfielder Pedro Gonçalves has been sidelined for four matches, striker Nuno Santos is out with a knee injury, and Japanese playmaker Hidemasa Morita sustained an injury in their recent loss to Moreirense. Daniel Bragança is also doubtful with a calf issue. Adding to their woes, former head coach Rúben Amorim departed to manage Manchester United, leaving João Pereira to take over. Pereira has so far only managed a win against Amarante in the Portuguese Cup but has since lost to Arsenal, Santa Clara, and Moreirense. With several starters injured, much depends on Sebastián Coates to organize the backline and provide leadership.
Sporting’s attacking struggles are glaring—they’ve scored just two goals in their last three matches while conceding eight, indicating both offensive and defensive instability. Club Brugge enters this match with clear momentum, while Sporting struggles to find form. Expect the Belgian side to capitalize on the visitors' vulnerabilities and strengthen their position in the Champions League race.
Prediction for the match: Brugge to win.
