Club Brugge vs Juventus Preview
Club Brugge
The pressure will be on the hosts as the Champions League resumes this week. Club Brugge come into the penultimate round of matches in a promising position, sitting 19th and in a playoff spot after wins in three of their six encounters.
Their 6 goals are a poor attacking return in the competition. But this poor record isn’t reflected in their xG, as they have averaged 2.06 per game at home and have netted 31 goals.
Nicky Hayen will have a fully fit squad to select from this week. The emphasis will be on their defensive style, as a deep back five is likely to be preferred against their Italian rivals.
Juventus
It’s been a strange season for Juventus, as they remain unbeaten in the league but have struggled for wins. They’ve won three of their six Champions League performances to sit in the playoff spots.
The visitors desperately need a win to enhance their chances of an automatic spot in the knockout round. Injuries to Juan Cabal and Bremer will limit their defensive options. Converting chances has been an issue throughout the season, scoring just 27 goals from an open play xG of 27.11.
Their defence record has seen them concede only eleven goals from an xGA of 11.48. This should be a winning Club Brugge vs Juventus prediction this week.

- Pick: Juventus to Win
- Odds: 2.18 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Club Brugge 0-2 Juventus
Juventus look to be a solid win in this Champions League showdown. They’ve been in excellent form since returning from the winter break in Italy, taking four points from matches against Atalanta and AC Milan.
Their attacking outlet has improved over that period, scoring three goals overall from xGs of 2.28 and 1.57. It furthers their chances that the guests have won three of their previous four against Brugge and have kept clean sheets in their last two Champions League encounters.
Club Brugge vs Juventus Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.77 (22Bet)
Despite finding their feet in recent weeks, it looks likely that Juventus will get over the line on Tuesday with a professional outing. Brugge have rarely threatened in the final third against the heavyweight teams this season. It looks unlikely that they’ll lay a glove on a visiting side with an excellent defensive record.
Furthermore, Timothy Weah could be an interesting scoring angle. The American international has scored 5 in 14 appearances this season and has accumulated an xG of 3.02 from an average of 1.43 shots per 90.
