Club Brugge vs Dortmund prediction

After a rather eventful run in Europe last season that saw them sail all the way to the Semifinal of the Europa Conference League, Club Brugge are back in the high table, taking part in the Group Stage of the Champions League for the sixth time in the last 7 seasons. They play host to Borussia Dortmund at their Jan Breydel Stadium which they turned into an absolute fortress in Europe last season, going undefeated (W6, D3). They have been playing well on the domestic front too, winning the last four at this venue, and will be looking to translate and carry over some of that charm here

Dortmund came close to the mountain top last season, reaching the final of this premiere competition where they lost to the champions Real Madrid. They incidentally have an early date with the champs this time as they are scheduled to meet in the latter part of the group games. New boss Nuri Şahin will be standing in the dugout of a side in the UCL for the first time here. Still, he’s boosted by overseeing an unbeaten start to the domestically season (W3, D1), including an impressive 4-2 win over surprise packages Heidenheim at the weekend.

This has all the makings of a thrilling encounter. Both teams have been smashing goals left, right and centre to start the season. Brugge will be keen to maintain their perfect record at home while the visitors will be out to shake off a rather inconsistent form away from home in Europe. We are therefore anticipating an end-to-end encounter and we are backing both teams to get on the scoresheet as our main Club Brugge vs Dortmund prediction for this clash

Statistics for Club Brugge vs Dortmund Prediction

Team News Club Brugge

• Injury-Free: Club Brugge has no major injury concerns as they enter the opening round of the UCL, and Head Coach, Nicky Hayen, will have the luxury of fielding his best XI
• Dubious Record: Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has never kept a clean sheet against Dortmund and conceded ten goals in four prior games against Dortmund. He’ll be looking to change that record here
• Midfield Motor: Hans Vanaken opened his account for this season with a brace against Kortrijk. He will be key in the midfield battle and as he showed can also chip in with the scoring

Team News Dortmund

• Injury Report: Dortmund will be without Giovanni Reyna and Kjell Watjen, and there are doubts about the fitness of Serhou Guirassy as well as Yan Couto
• Hot Start: Karim Adeyemi continues to impress for Dortmund and will be key to how they start. He has been doing the damage early with eight of his last 11 club goals coming before half-time
• Back in the fold: Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck who missed the weekend match due to a red card is available for selection here. He has been a key cog in Nuri Sahin’s defence lineups and is slotted to make a return to the starting XI
