Club Brugge vs Barcelona form
Club Brugge kicked off their Champions League qualifying campaign with a resounding 4-1 win over AS Monaco. But in the following two matches, the Belgian runners-up returned to their familiar "underdog" form, losing to Atalanta (1-2) and Bayern Munich (0-4).
Returning to the Jan Breydel stadium in the middle of this week, coach Nicky Hayen and his team's hopes of accumulating more points are very low. Simply because the home team's opponent is a very formidable face, Barcelona.
Before the trip to Brugge, the Catalan giants easily won 3-1 in the reception of newcomer Elche. Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford all shone to bring home 3 full points for Blaugrana.
However, Barca still cannot narrow the 5-point gap to the top position held by Real Madrid. The goal of defending the title of coach Hansi Flick and his team promises to be full of thorns because in addition to the task of chasing the great rival of Madrid, they are also being pressed by opponents behind such as Villarreal or Atletico Madrid.
In the Champions League, Barcelona only has 6 points so they cannot break into the top 8. But if they defeat Club Brugge in the midweek match, the Spanish champions will likely be in the group to win a ticket to the round of 16.
Coach Hansi Flick has given the task of winning. In the context of not achieving the expected ranking in both La Liga and Champions League, Barca will need to take advantage of clear opportunities to collect maximum points.
On the opposite side, Club Brugge did not place too much emphasis on the goal of going far in the most prestigious playground in the continent. The army under coach Nicky Hayen knows its own strength and will still give more priority to the domestic front, where they aim to dethrone Union SG after losing the championship to this opponent last year.
Currently on the Belgian National Championship table, Club Brugge is ranked 2nd and is 3 points behind Union SG. Although they are quite successful in the domestic arena with a series of 6 recent victories, the chance of advancing to the knockout round of the Jan Breydel Stadium team is not much.
In addition to hosting Barcelona, Club Brugge will also have to face Sporting Lisbon, Arsenal, Kairat and Marseille. Except for Kairat, all three remaining faces are considered stronger than the Belgian representative.
