Manchester City Preview & Form
Manchester City will head to their final matchweek of the Champions League in a must-win encounter to have the chance of progressing into the playoff round. Pep Guardiola’s men have had a difficult season across all competitions as the Citizens find themselves coming into the final matchweek of the Champions League sitting two points and a place below the knockout spot. Pep Guardiola’s men were beaten 4-2 by PSG at the Parc des Princes in their last Champions League game last midweek but bounced back by beating Chelsea 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium. The victory over Chelsea extended their competitive record to just one loss in the last eight games, winning five and playing two draws. However, City defense still looks vulnerable, having conceded 13 goals in the Champions League so far.

Club Brugge will be desperate to hold their place in the Champions League standings, with the Belgium side knowing that a defeat in this match will eliminate them from the competition.

In the Champions League, the Belgians have remained unbeaten in the last four UCL games, winning two and playing two draws. Brugge displayed resilience in their last Champions League game as they held Juventus to a goalless draw on their home soil. The last time Club Brugge visited the Etihad Stadium ended in a disappointing night as they were hammered 4-1 by Manchester City.
