Comments and predictions for Club Brugge vs Juventus: Beat the home team

Latest Club Brugge vs Juventus squad information

Club Brugge have been given good news as manager Nicky Hayen welcomes back defender Joaquin Seys after a hamstring injury. This means competition on the left wing will be fiercer, with both Bjorn Meijer and Maxim De Cuyper joining.

However, Zaid Romero is still out of action after an injury, and Club Brugge have also said goodbye to a number of key players, including Andreas Skov Olsen, who has just moved to Wolfsburg, along with Philip Zinckernagel, Dedryck Boyata and Kamal Sowah. In midfield, Raphael Onyedika and veteran midfielder Hans Vanaken will continue to take on the role of commanding the play, promising a balanced game for the home team. Meanwhile, the striker position will likely belong to Gustav Nilsson or Ferran Jutgla, who are expected to bring sharpness and efficiency to Club Brugge's attack.

On Juventus' side, good news has come as key striker Dusan Vlahovic could be in the starting lineup for this match, which will be his first start of 2025. Vlahovic had an impressive performance as a substitute in the win over Milan last Saturday, showing that he is ready to return to his best form.

Vlahovic's experience has also been on display, with eight goals in 12 Champions League appearances under his belt, showing his efficiency and ability to make a difference. However, there are some fresh concerns as promising young striker Kenan Yildiz, who had a goal and an assist in the group stage, was forced off early with an adductor injury, and is likely to join the list of absentees, including Arkadiusz Milik, Juan Cabal and Bremer. Juventus could welcome back Francisco Conceicao after a four-match absence, though he may not be needed as Samuel Mbangula has been impressive in his debut campaign.

Latest expected lineup Club Brugge vs Juventus

Club Brugge:

Mignolet; Sabbe, Ordonez, Mechele, De Cuyper; Onyedika, Jashari; Vetlesen, Vanaken, Skoras; Jutgla

Juventus:

Di Gregorio; McKennie, Kalulu, Gatti, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Gonzalez, Koopmeiners, Mbangula; Vlahovic

Latest football commentary Club Brugge vs Juventus

Club Brugge are returning to the Champions League in impressive form. They have gone 18 games unbeaten in all competitions, including 15 wins, showing formidable strength and stability.

Club Brugge need just one more win in midweek to secure at least a place in the play-offs, a goal that is very important to them. It is remarkable that the team has only failed to score once in their last 30 matches, showing their effective and varied attacking ability.

Furthermore, 10 of their last 11 wins have come after an emotional 4-2 win over Beerschot at the weekend, where Swedish striker Gustav Nilsson scored an impressive double. Domestically, Club Brugge are also showing great ambition, having beaten Genk 2-1 in the first leg of their Belgian Cup semi-final, and currently sit second in the Pro League, just one point behind Genk. The team is full of hope of winning the national championship for the fifth time in the last six years.

One of Club Brugge’s most memorable moments this season was a thrilling victory over Sporting CP in the Champions League earlier in the season, with Casper Nielsen’s late goal taking them to 10 points from six games. Nicky Hayen’s side have won three times in the Champions League this season and if they can get five wins, they will have a chance to repeat the historic feat of the 1977-78 season, when they reached the final. With a top-eight finish on the line, Club Brugge are determined to bring home the first win for Belgian football against an Italian side since 2003.

Meanwhile, the history of confrontation between Club Brugge and Juventus in the Champions League is not really much, when the two teams have only met a total of 4 times. Juventus has won 3 victories, but the only defeat came in the semi-final of the European Cup 1 in 1978 against this opponent, still a memorable thing.

Juventus are also in fine form this season, remaining unbeaten in Serie A after an impressive 2-0 win over AC Milan at the weekend, with Timothy Weah and Samuel Mbangula getting on the scoresheet. This result could be seen as a huge relief from the pressure on coach Thiago Motta, as his team has suffered too many draws and lost the advantage at many important moments in different arenas.

Despite failing to capitalize on their lead in matches against AC Milan (Super Cup), Fiorentina, Torino, and Atalanta, Juventus are currently 14th in the Champions League standings, just two points behind the group of teams that have qualified for the next round, and they can still hope for a ticket to the knockout round.
