Command Analysis
Club Brugge
BelgiumCurrent form
Brugge approached the start of the Champions League as a clear contender for a playoff spot – experience in the international arena and a high-quality selection of players allowed the Belgian champion to have this status. Nicky Heyen’s team started with a crushing 0:3 defeat to Borussia Dortmund, but rehabilitated itself in the second round, beating Sturm 1:0.
Brugge suffered their second, and to date their last, defeat in the third round, losing 1:3 to Milan away. Two victories over Aston Villa (1:0) and Sporting (2:1), as well as a 1:1 draw with Celtic away, seriously increased their chances of reaching the playoffs. The black and blues approach the seventh round in 19th place in the table with 10 points, but are only three points ahead of 25th PSG.
In the Belgian championship, Brugge has not yet fully justified its status as the main contender for the championship title and is in a desperate fight with Genk for leadership. At the moment, the black and blues occupy second place in the table with 47 points and are one point behind the miners, third Union is 10 points behind and does not pose a serious threat yet.

Verman and Romero are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brugge have not lost in their last 18 matches – 15 wins and three draws
- Brugge have scored in their last 30 matches
- Brugge have conceded in their last two matches

Juventus
ItalyCurrent form
Juventus were considered clear contenders for a place in the top eight before the start of the Champions League – the old lady had strengthened significantly in the summer and was capable of setting such goals for itself. The Bianconeri started with a 3:1 home win over PSV, and then consolidated their success with a 3:2 away win over Leipzig, where they were able to score two goals while playing with a man down, showing character.
However, the successful streak was replaced by an unsuccessful one and Juventus suffered its first defeat at the hands of Stuttgart, losing 0:1 to the Swabians on their home field. In the matches against Lille (1:1) and Aston Villa (0:0) the old lady did not show its best game, but managed to cling to points. In the last round before the break, Juventus sensationally beat Juventus with a score of 2:0 and ended up in 14th place in the table.
In Serie A, Juventus is still far from its main goals – the bet was probably on the championship title. For now, the Bianconeri occupy only the fifth line in the table and are already 13 points behind the leader Napoli – such a handicap reduces the chances of the title to zero. At the same time, the 2:0 victory over Milan in the last round allowed Juve to come two points closer to Lazio and is quite capable of fighting for a place in the top four.
Disqualifications and injuries
Milik, Bremer and Kabal are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Juventus have suffered just one defeat in their last 18 matches.
- Juventus beat Brugge in their last two matches
- Juventus have conceded in their last four away games
Probable line-up: Di Gregorio - Cambiaso, Kalulu, Gatti, McKennie - Locatelli, Thuram - Gonzalez, Koopmeiners, Mbangula - Vlahovic.
