Manchester City vs Club Brugge KV Prediction & Tips
Manchester City go into the final matchday of the Champions League phase with the obligation to take all three points to stay alive in the top continental competition.
Guardiola’s side, who can only finish fourth in the Premier League, are having a terrible season but are trying to get back on track. For the moment they have lifted their spirits and beaten Chelsea in the domestic competition, but now they face a match ball against them.
The team that started the season as favourites for the title is now ninety minutes away from elimination. They are twenty-fifth with eight points and two points behind the twenty-fourth. So there is no more guesswork. Either they win, or they say goodbye.
Brugge, who have just held Juve (0-0), are 20th with 11 points, so they could be out if they lose. In domestic competition, they are three points behind Racing Genk, who have 51 points to the Canal City side’s 48 points.
City began their comeback with a 2-0 win away to Leicester and a 4-1 win over West Ham. In the FA Cup, they overwhelmed Salford City (8-0), drew 2-2 with Brantford in the Premiership and thrashed Ipswich (0-6). In the duel between favourites in the Champions League, they were defeated by PSG at the Parc des Princes (4-2) and beat Chelsea (3-1). Despite being just one game away from the knockout stage, they are still among the strongest title contenders, with odds of 11-1 to win the title.
Brugge have won three straight domestic games, beating Westerlo (4-3), Anderlecht (0-3) and Beerschot (4-2), but have now drawn their last two games, drawing 0-0 with Juve in the Champions League and 1-1 with Kortrijk in the Belgian competition. As they are 20th with 11 points, they have a chance of going out if they lose.
