On Tuesday, Bayer Leverkusen and Club Brugge will lock horns in the final game of the Champions League group stage. What to expect from the teams? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen
GermanyBayer Leverkusen got an easy Champions League group and were expected to qualify easily. However, in the first game, they suffered a defeat to Club Brugge (0:1). Gerardo Seoane was fired following the poor results at the start of the season, but the situation hasn't really improved under Xabi Alonso. After a crushing defeat to Porto (0:3) at home, Bayer drew against Atletico Madrid (2:2).
The team sits bottom of the group table with four points. There is no chance of qualifying for the Champions League last 16, but they can still climb to third and get Europa League playoffs - Atletico are just one point ahead of Bayer.
Club Brugge
BelgiumClub Brugge were the main outsiders in Group B before the start of the tournament, but they had a very powerful start to their Champions League campaign and were the first to secure qualification for the playoffs. After a narrow win over Bayer Leverkusen, Carl Hoefkens' men crushed Porto (4:0), beat Atletico (2:0) at home, and drew against Atletico (0:0) in Madrid.
Last week, Club Brugge lost to Porto (0:4). They conceded goals for the first time in the tournament. Nevertheless, the Belgians remained top of the group table with 10 points to their name.
