Manchester City vs Club Brugge Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Steve Ashfield in Champions League Predictions
Could this be the last game Manchester City play in this season's Champions League. They begin this final set of league phase fixtures in 25th place and host 20th placed Club Brugge. Can the Citizens qualify for the play-offs? Read our match prediction below.
Manchester City have only eight points from their first five games and only a win will take them into the unseeded play-off positions. They cannot automatically qualify for the last 16 nor be in the play-off seeded positions. It's not quite what City imagined would happen after earning seven points from their first three Champions League games of the season but their drop in form has put them in danger of an early exit.
Club Brugge are in the unseeded play-off positions. A win at the Etihad could see them be seeded for the play-offs. A draw would see them stay in the unseeded positions and losing to City would only see them eliminated if suffering a heavy loss.

Manchester City - Club Brugge: Form Analysis
Manchester City have only earned one point from their last four games in the Champions League. Last week saw them lose a 2-0 lead at PSG and be beaten 4-2. Only a win will keep them in the Champions League so the pressure is on.
The weekend saw them beat Chelsea 3-1 at home after the visitors took an early lead. That took them to fourth in the Premier League. The loss at PSG is their only defeat in the last seven games they have played but they still look fragile at times.
City are scoring plenty of goals at home.
They are unbeaten in their last four home matches with 15 goals scored in the last three. Seven of their last eight matches at the Etihad have had over 2.5 goals scored in them and six of the last seven in this competition.
Club Brugge are second in the Jupiler League and have drawn their last two games. They lost two of their first three games in this league phase and then had that crazy home win over Aston Villa. City players better not start picking the ball up in the penalty area if they want to qualify.
Ten of their last 13 games have seen over 2.5 goals scored Only one of their last six away games in this competition have been won.

Manchester City & Club Brugge Squad Analysis
Manchester City have had plenty of injury problems in recent months. The latest bad news for them is that Jeremy Doku will definitely miss this match. He joins Nathan Ake, Ruben Dias, Rodri and Oscar Bobb who are still on the injury list.
City played two of their new signings at the weekend but neither Khusanov or Marmoush are eligible to play in the Champions League until the knockout stages. Kevin De Bruyne and Savinho may be back in the starting line-up for this crucial match.
Brugge could be without their captain.
Club Brugge may be without their captain Hans Vanaken for this game. He was absent from their match at the weekend but Brugge are hopeful he'll play.
Maxim De Cuyper could return to the starting line-up and he's a dangerous player after creating 14 chances in this season's Champions League.Winger Christos Tzolis has also achieved that feat. In goal for Brugge will be former Liverpool goalie Simon Mignolet.

Our Manchester City vs Club Brugge Prediction
It's do or die for Manchester City. Anything less than a win over Club Brugge will end their European season. They really shouldn't be anywhere near this position, especially having earned just one point from leading Feyenoord 3-0 and PSG 2-0. They have shown glimpses of a return to form in recent weeks and with home advantage should be able to get the three points they need.
Club Brugge could lose this game and still be in the play-offs. They have put in some good displays of late and this won't be easy for City. Our Manchester City v Club Brugge prediction is Manchester City to win and over 2.5 goals.
