Club Brugge v Borussia Dortmund

Club Brugge vs Borussia Dortmund Preview

Club Brugge recorded a comprehensive and impressive 3-0 win away from home at Kortrijk in the Belgian First Division A on the weekend which in turn extended Wednesday night's hosts unbeaten run to five games overall which includes picking up four wins in the process.

Victories achieved in the Belgian top flight against Antwerp, Dender, Cercle Brugge and Kortrijk have seen Club Brugge make the most of a favourable looking opening sequence of fixtures in the domestic top flight, while the bigger picture shows the Belgian hosts have slipped to just three defeats in their previous 18 matches in all competitions.

Seven wins within these previous 18 games though suggests it may be risky backing Club Brugge for the straight win here, especially as the hosts have also been involved in no fewer than eight stalemates as well.

In addition, Club Brugge have won just three of their last 12 Champions League ties, slipping to seven defeats.

Borussia Dortmund will be similarly confident about their prospects here at the Jan Breydelstadion for Wednesday night's clash against Club Brugge as the German visitors bring a useful looking six-match unbeaten sequence which consists of five wins and a draw.

Victories against the likes of Cerezo Osaka and Aston Villa in pre-season friendlies along with domestic wins in the Bundesliga against Eintracht Frankfurt and Heidenheim should also stand Dortmund in good stead for this opening league game in the newly formatted Champions League.

The bigger picture shows Borussia Dortmund have suffered just three defeats in their previous 14 games in all competitions while recording nine wins during this period as well, so the visitors look a decent bet to hit the back of the net here at the Jan Breydelstadion on Wednesday night.

Dortmund have also lost just twice in their previous 12 Champions League ties as well, winning seven of these ties while the goals market also looks promising as the German visitors have scored in nine of their last 11 ties on the road in this competition.

Club Brugge v Borussia Dortmund Verdict
