On Wednesday night, Club Brugge and Bayer Leverkusen go head-to-head in Group B of the Champions League, as both teams look to get their European campaigns off to a winning start.
Club Brugge
The Belgian team head into this clash on the back of a good recent run of form. Carl Hoefkens’ team has now recorded four straight victories after a 4-0 home derby win over Cercle Brugge last time out in the Belgian top flight.
The game illustrated Club Brugge’s attacking prowess, as the home team has scored at least two goals in all four of their recent winning games.
Club Brugge have lost their last four matches in the Champions League, conceding at least four goals in all four of the defeats. In fact, they have conceded at least two goals in six of their last eight matches in the competition.
Bayer Leverkusen
Gerardo Seoane’s team has made a poor start to the new campaign, losing five of their last six games this season in all competitions. Last time out, Bayer suffered a 3-2 home defeat against Freiburg in the Bundesliga.
Their defensive displays this season have been woeful, as Bayer has now conceded at least two goals in three of their last four outings.
Leverkusen has not featured in the Champions League since 2019, when they finished third in a group also containing Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Lokomotiv Moscow, suffering four defeats and picking up just two victories.
The visitors have won just four of their last 19 matches in European football’s elite competition. Bayer Leverkusen has also won just two of their previous 13 away games in the Champions League.
