Club Brugge Team News
Club Brugge’s team has been dominant in the domestic championship in recent years and is a regular participant in European competitions. In the Jupiter Pro League, they are a three-time consecutive champion and have been the best team for years.
Last season, Club Brugge fought a huge battle with Royale Union for the title in the domestic championship. After several top reinforcements preceding this season, such as Yaremchuk, Boyata, Onyedika and Nilsen, it is to be expected that they secure the championship in the Jupiter Pro League a few rounds earlier.
They are currently the third-placed team in the Jupiter Pro League with 29 points won in 14 games played, but these results are certainly affected by the Champions League, as they rest key players in the domestic championship prior to the matches in the LP. In the Champions League, Club Brugge played four top matches, they still have not lost a single one, and by not concedeing a single goal and with 10 points they have already secured the knockout phase.
In this match, Club Brugge cannot count on Kamal Sowah, who received a red card in the match against Atletico and is serving his suspension. Apart from him, Ruud Vormer and Mats Rits are also out of the machine.
Porto Team News
The Porto team won the title in the domestic championship the previous season, on the wings of the great Mehdi Taremi, without much difficulty. Before this season, they did not make any big changes and they certainly have the quality for a new title in Portugal, but the team does not seem the best at the start of the new season.
After 10 rounds, they are six points behind Benfica, who look much better at the moment. Porto opened the Champions League desperately, with defeats against Atlético and Club Brugge, but following two victories over Leverkusen returned to the track leading for the knockout phase.
In this match, Porto has no major issues with absences. Pepe has been gone for some time and probably will not be here today either, and besides him, they cannot count on Joao Mario as well, who is serving his suspension.
H2H
- In the first meeting between these teams, Club Brugge won 4-0 at Dragao.
- These teams have played three games with each other in the last decade. Porto registered two victories and Club Brugge one.
Club Brugge vs. Porto Prediction
Club Brugge look really great in the Champions League this season, where they have already secured passage to the knockout phase of the competition, and today a point would be enough to secure first place in the group. In the first meeting between them, Porto was defeated 4-0, but regardless of that, it is clear that Porto has greater individual quality, and therefore betting on the home team is not worth it.
Both teams have excellent attacking zones, in four matches of the Champions League, Brugge scored seven goals and Porto six goals, so betting on goals is the best choice.
