Club Brugge vs Barcelona Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Champions League 2025-26

The previous confrontation between these ended in favour of the Blaugrana.

Club Brugge are all set to lock horns with FC Barcelona in what is going to be the round 4 league phase fixture of the UEFA Champions League 2025-26. This is going to be an intense fixture, which is scheduled to take place at the Jan Breydelstadion.

The Belgian Pro League side will be at home, but it is not going to make things any easier for them. Their performance in the European competition this season has not been the best, but they have managed to win one of their first three games. Club Brugge were dominated by Bayern Munich in their previous UCL fixture.

FC Barcelona are coming in after thrashing Olympiacos in their last UEFA Champions League game. Their performances in the ongoing season have not been very consistent.

However, the upcoming fixture might not be a big challenge for them. The Spanish giants will be looking to extend their winning run now.

Kick-off:

• Location: Brugge, Belgium
• Stadium: Jan Breydelstadion
• Date: Thursday, November 6
• Kick-off Time: 1:30 a.m. IST (Wednesday, Nov 5; 08:00 p.m. GMT/ 04:00 p.m. ET/ 01:00 p.m. PT)

Form:

Club Brugge: W-L-W-W-W

Players to Watch

Christos Tzolis (Club Brugge)

Christos Tzolis will be looking to step up his game as he is one of the main men in the attacking front for Club Brugge. His performances in the Belgian Pro League have been good. He must perform well in the upcoming UEFA Champions League game for the hosts to help them get a win.

Marcus Rashford (Barcelona)

The Englishman has scored four goals and has an assist in three UCL appearances for Barcelona this season. Marcus Rashford will be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. The 28-year-old is ready to lead the attack from the left yet again.

A top performance by him can help Barca with three easy points.
