Man City vs Club Brugge prediction and odds ahead of Champions League clash

Manchester City are bracing for a pivotal Champions League clash against Club Brugge at the Etihad Stadium this Wednesday night, with no room for mistakes. The Citizens find themselves outside the top 24, a surprising position for the former European champions who were initially favourites to claim the trophy this season.

Pep Guardiola's team faces an uphill battle, needing a victory to remain in the hunt for a spot in the knockout stages. Their European campaign took a hit following a lacklustre showing against PSG last week, although I did see two of my predictions come through. Nevertheless, they bounced back strongly with an impressive 3-1 win over Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday, suggesting a return to form.

Club Brugge, meanwhile, are also navigating a challenging situation as they head into their final group stage encounter. To clinch one of the coveted top 24 positions, they must capitalise on their recent goalless draw with Juventus last Tuesday, which has kept their qualification aspirations alive.
