The unusual Thursday night UCL programme will kick off with Club Brugge vs Monaco. These two teams had respectable campaigns last year in the tournament, reaching the knockouts and generally leaving a solid impression.
Club Brugge KV Team News
Club Brugge had an outstanding campaign last season, even reaching the Round of 16 by eliminating Atalanta to get there. Optimism around the Belgians’ camp is high again as they aim to repeat last season’s success. Brugge swept past RB Salzburg and Rangers to get to the league phase. Impressively enough, the team has 4 wins out of their 4 UCL games so far, scoring at least 3 goals in all of their last 3 UCL fixtures. Another feat was the 6-0 second-leg win against Rangers that solidified Brugge’s place in the League Phase. However, the team’s last 2 games on the domestic front ended in a draw and a defeat after the international break was over, signalling that Brugge’s good form since the start of the season might be experiencing a hiccup.
Monaco Team News
Monaco’s results since the start of the season have been good, with 3 wins and 1 loss in Ligue 1. Despite that, some things will need improving. First and foremost, Monaco hasn’t kept a clean sheet in all of their official fixtures since their season started. On a brighter side, the team only failed to score in their only loss so far – that against Lille. But one grim statistic looms over Monaco – their travelling form in Europe. The team has managed to win just 1 victory across their last 12 Champions League away fixtures. Heading to Belgium to play against a very tough host, such as Brugge, could potentially extend this trend.
Head-to-Head-Games
Brugge and Monaco have met a total of 4 times, although the most recent H2H games between them date back to 2018. Back then, the game in Belgium ended in a 1-1 draw, while the fixture in Monaco finished in a commanding 0-4 win for Brugge.
Club Brugge KV vs Monaco Betting Prediction
My pick here is for both teams to score. Monaco has been leaking goals since the start of the season, but has managed to score a fair few themselves. Brugge has displayed a formidable form, especially as hosts, although they have developed a tendency to concede as well. This is why going with both teams to score here seems like the best option for me.
