Club Brugge are heading into this one on the back of a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Dender, their third consecutive victory across all competitions. But let’s be honest, this test is on a completely different level. Their 4-1 triumph over Monaco on Matchday 1 showed flashes of brilliance, yet heavy defeats to Atalanta and Bayern since then have exposed defensive cracks. Manager Nicky Hayen’s men are full of fight, but with four key players out injured, including goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and midfielder Ludovit Reis, the odds look steep. Can the home crowd push them toward another upset? Maybe. But they’ll need something close to perfect.

Barcelona, on the other hand, have rediscovered their rhythm at just the right time. After a comfortable 3-1 La Liga win over Elche, Hansi Flick’s side look confident again. Two wins in three European games have positioned them in the top half of the standings, and they’ll want to keep that momentum rolling. Still, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Injuries to key figures like Pedri, Gavi, and Ter Stegen have forced tactical reshuffles, yet the Catalans’ depth remains impressive. Lamine Yamal’s energy, Fermin Lopez’s breakout form, and Lewandowski’s return to fitness could be the difference in Belgium.

What stands out most about this Barcelona team is their adaptability. Against Olympiacos, they tore through the lines, scoring six goals. Against PSG, they stumbled but learned. Flick seems to be balancing youth and experience better with each game. Marcus Rashford, who scored against Elche, looks hungry for more, and with Olmo back in action, there’s an extra spark up front. Can they handle Brugge’s pressing and physicality? That’s the real question. Still, this feels like a match Barcelona should control if they keep composure early.

Even so, Club Brugge aren’t to be written off. They’ve surprised European heavyweights before and thrive when underestimated. Christos Tzolis has been electric: eight goals and eight assists this season tell the story. If he finds space behind Barcelona’s high line, it could get interesting. But consistency and defensive balance remain their Achilles’ heel. Expect a vibrant, attacking game under the Bruges floodlights. Goals seem certain, and while Barcelona look more likely to walk away with the points, this one might not be straightforward.
