Bitter fruit for the away team

Manchester City are in danger of an early Champions League exit and face Club Brugge at the Etihad in their final group game. Pep Guardiola's side are outside the top 24 after losing to Paris Saint-Germain last week. Club Brugge, meanwhile, drew with Juventus and are in contention for a place in the play-offs.

Latest Man City vs Club Brugge squad information

Man City will continue to be without Oscar Bobb and Rodri. Centre-back Ruben Dias has an adductor injury and is definitely out. Nathan Ake and Jeremy Doku are also doubtful. Dias' absence gives new signing Abdukodir Khusanov a chance to make his Premier League debut against Chelsea, but he was at fault for the opening goal and Guardiola is likely to bring John Stones back for the next match. New signing Omar Marmoush impressed on his debut against Chelsea, but Guardiola still has a few other options up front, such as Kevin De Bruyne and Savinho.

Club Brugge, meanwhile, have just one concern ahead of the game as captain Hans Vanaken is likely to miss out due to illness. The visitors will be hoping Vanaken can recover in time for Wednesday's game. Maxim De Cuyper, meanwhile, will have plenty of chances to start after the defender has shown his consistency this season. The left-back, who has been linked with Arsenal, has created 14 goalscoring chances in the Champions League since the 2003-04 season. Winger Christos Tzolis has a similar record and is likely to start again. Veteran goalkeeper Simon Mignolet remains a reliable stopper for Club Brugge.

Latest Man City vs Club Brugge football review

Man City are facing a very simple situation. If they win, they are almost certain to get a ticket to the Champions League play-off round. Draw or lose, their adventure in Europe will be over. Guardiola's team is gradually overcoming the difficulties of the previous stage. Despite leading 2 goals against PSG in the second half of the 7th round, they let their opponents make an impressive comeback and ended the match with a 2-4 defeat.

With City currently 25th, they must win their next game against Club Brugge. They will also need to look to the other fixtures to secure their place in the next round. A win would extend City's unbeaten run at home in the Champions League to 34 games. While they have struggled on the domestic front, a 3-1 win over Chelsea at the weekend showed signs of a comeback. However, victory is not guaranteed, despite scoring twice in seven consecutive games.

Meanwhile, Club Brugge only need a draw against Man City to secure a place in the play-off round. Before holding Juventus to a draw in the last match, the team had a 20-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. With this impressive record, coach Nicky Hayen's team is confident of achieving good results in the upcoming trip to Manchester. With impressive achievements in gaining points against Juventus, Aston Villa, Celtic and Sporting Lisbon, they probably also want to extend this record and pass the group stage. However, history is not in their favor when they have suffered two heavy defeats against their opponents in the 2021-2022 season, and it seems that this is the time for coach Pep Guardiola's students to have the opportunity to regain their strength and affirm their ambitions this season.
