Jan Breydelstadion will be packed as Club Brugge take on Aston Villa for the opening round of the Champions League. The Belgian champions come into the clash on the back of a 1-0 Jupiler League victory over Lommel and have been particularly impressive on home soil, winning 75% of their last 10 matches. Club Brugge have scored 2.50 goals per home game during that run and conceded just 0.25, while their home xG of 2.12 underlines their attacking potential. Joel Ordonez remains sidelined, while Aleksandar Stankovic and Christos Tzolis have left the club.
Aston Villa, meanwhile, are searching for consistency after a difficult start, with a goalless draw against Hull City at the weekend. Ollie Watkins, Aaron Rogers and Youri Tielemans have all departed, while Johan Manzambi and Amadou Onana are unavailable through injury. Villa have won just 20% of their last 10 matches, conceding 1.80 goals per game. Their away record is also unconvincing, with a 25% win rate and 1.63 goals conceded per match.
Club Brugge's outstanding home form makes them the more appealing side. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Brugge Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (two of the three previous meetings produced at least three goals).
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 8 September 2026 at 17:45.
