Match Facts

  • Manchester City won both of their previous meetings with Club Brugge, winning 5-1 away and 4-1 at home during the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League group stage.

  • Club Brugge have never won away to English opposition in European competition in 14 previous attempts (D2 L12 – qualifiers included); only RSC Anderlecht (19 games) and Dynamo Kyiv (15 games) have played more such games without ever recording a win in England.

  • Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 33 UEFA Champions League matches at the Etihad (W28 D5), although three of their last four have ended as stalemates, losing a three-goal lead against Feyenoord to draw 3-3 last time out.

  • Failure to win this game will see Manchester City eliminated from the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League. Pep Guardiola’s side have thrown away two 2+ goal leads in the competition this term (3-3 vs Feyenoord, 2-4 vs PSG) – the only side to do so in three games in a single European Cup campaign were Reims in the inaugural edition in 1955-56.

  • Club Brugge are unbeaten in their last four matches in the UEFA Champions League (W2 D2), while only once previously have they had a longer run without defeat within the same European Cup/Champions League campaign (five games in 1976-77).

  • Manchester City have dropped eight points from winning positions in the UEFA Champions League this season, with only RB Leipzig (9) losing more. The Citizens’ defeat against Paris SG was the first time they had lost a game in which they were two goals up since May 2021 in the Premier League against Brighton & Hove Albion (2-3).

  • Club Brugge failed to land a shot on target in their previous UEFA Champions League game (0-0 v Juventus). Ahead of their trip to the Etihad, they’ve never previously failed to do so in consecutive games in the competition on record (since 2003-04).

  • Manchester City faced 26 shots in their 4-2 defeat to PSG last time out, having faced on average just 8.3 shots per game in their previous six UEFA Champions League matches this term. Indeed, it was their most shots faced in a match in the competition since September 2012 (35 vs Real Madrid).

  • Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has scored eight goals in four UEFA Champions League appearances against Belgian opponents (4 vs KRC Genk, 4 vs Club Brugge), averaging a goal every 33 minutes versus such opposition.

  • Maxim De Cuyper and Christos Tzolis have both created 14 chances each in the UEFA Champions League this season; the joint-most for Club Brugge in a single campaign on record (since 2003-04). Indeed, Tzolis’ 12 chances created from open play is an outright season-high by a Brugge player in the same period.
