⁠Club Brugge vs Borussia Dortmund Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | UEFA Champions League 2024-25

Last season’s runners-up will kick off their UCL campaign against the Belgian side.

Club Brugge start their campaign in the UEFA Champions League as they look to secure their spot in the top eight. The Bruges are currently leading the table in the Belgian Jupiler League.

Nicky Hayen’s side have collected 13 points from the opening seven matches winning four, drawing one, and losing two. Despite starting the season poorly, they bounced back impressively to win their last four matches on the trot. 

Borussia Dortmund are going through a transition period with a new face in the dugout and several high-profile signings. They have started the new season in brilliant form collecting seven points from the opening three Bundesliga matches. 

Nuri Sahin’s side started their run with an opening day 2-0 victory over Frankfurt followed by a goalless draw against Werder Bremen and a 4-2 win over FC Heidenheim. As the new head coach had promised, Die Borussen are playing good attacking football and don’t allow the opponents to have much of the ball.

Players to Watch

Andreas Skov Olsen (⁠Club Brugge)

The Denmark international has started the new season in brilliant form scoring three goals and assisting another one. He mainly plays as a right winger but is equally adept at playing in several positions due to his versatility. Olsen had a solid campaign last term registering 26 goals and adding another eight assists. His breathtaking speed and dribbling skills make him a dangerous opponent for Dortmund here. 

Julian Brandt (Borussia Dortmund)

Julian Brandt is now the most capped Dortmund player in the current squad after the departure of Marco Reus. He is arguably one of the best players in the team who possesses the quality to win games for them. Last season, he was unplayable, scoring ten goals and assisting another 14. Julian Brandt is a creative player who has the vision and ability to create and score goals for the team.
