Man City vs Club Brugge Tips

Tip 1

Brugge have scored on both previous encounters against Man City, and have the capabilities to pierce holes into a vulnerable side who must win to avoid exit.

The visitors are the second top scorers domestically in the Belgian Pro League (62) and average over two goals per game.

They’ve netted in five out of seven UCL games this term, which includes all three of their away trips.

City also only have three clean sheets from their last 12 outings, conceding 17 times during this period.

Tip 2

Despite not being back to their brilliant best yet, City overcame adversity in their 3-1 win over Chelsea and have five wins and a draw from their last seven games.

They will have a fresh look to them thanks to the addition of couple new faces, as well as the return of Phil Foden’s form, plus some other key players stepping back up, such as Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish.

Foden has six goals in his last six appearances, sitting as the PL’s top goalscorer for 2025 so far.

City’s seven group games have produced 28 goals in total, which is an average of 4.0 per game.

Five of the hosts’ seven European matches have featured four or more goals, while their erratic defending has led them to conceding 13 times in the four matches since keeping three straight clean sheets in this competition.

Man City Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Despite what appeared to be another setback having gone 1-0 down to Chelsea at home in the Premier League on Saturday evening, Pep Guardiola’s men fought back to alleviate any immediate fears in preparation for this crunch match.

Long-term absentees Rodri and Oscar Bobb are confirmed to be joined by Ruben Dias on the sidelines, while Nathan Ake and Jeremy Doku could also miss Wednesday’s pivotal tie.

Man City Predicted XI: Ederson; Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Gvardiol; Silva, Kovacic; Foden, De Bruyne, Savinho; Haaland.

Club Brugge Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Meanwhile, Brugge failed to close the gap on Belgian Pro League leaders Genk after a 1-1 draw with relegation threatened Kortrijk last weekend.

Captain Hans Vanaken looks to be the visitors’ only casualty for the trip to Manchester after missing their last outing due to illness.

Club Brugge Predicted XI: Mignolet; Sabbe, Mechele, Ordonez, De Cuyper; Jashari, Onyedika; Talbi, Vanaken, Tzolis; Nilsson.
