Game Preview

 
For more than 30 years, Club Brugge has not participated in the round of 16 in the Champions League. Their excellent efforts in the opening stretch of the season helped to end the wait.
 
Les Bleu et Noir made a strong first-leg impression by winning three matches: 1-0 at home against Leverkusen, 4-0 at Porto, and 2-0 against Atlético de Madrid. They fell behind and no longer took first place as this stroke of luck had little bearing on the final standings, finishing in second place behind FC Porto.
 
The current Belgian champions, however, are not in a good position to defend their national title. They now sit in fourth place in the regular season, 21 points virtually insurmountably behind leader Genk. The match against Union Saint-Gilloise ended in a 1-1 tie on Friday, after hanging on the field of Antwerp at 0-0.
 
The absences of magnitude that influence Club Brugge’s staff can be used to explain its current problems. When it comes to this double matchup, the powerful Danish striker Skov Olsen and his attacking partner, the Spaniard Jutgla, are indeed out of shape. The attacking threat should be filled by Lang, a Dutch international, and Vanaken, a highly useful midfielder.
 
Let’s check the latest picks, Champions League news, stats and Champions League expert picks for Club Brugge vs Benfica. We’ve plenty of Champions League predictions for you to consider.
 
Goalkeeper Mignolet builds a strong final rampart in the cages behind defense captains Mechele, Boyata, and Clinton Mata. Roger Schmidt should have the luxury of being able to address this meeting with the support of the entire group, unlike his opponent for the day.
 
On the other side, the world champion Argentine Otamendi and the excellent Antonio Silva should line up in front of the Greek international goalie Vlachodimos in the goal, with Alexander Bah and Alejandro Grimaldo undoubtedly occupying the flanks.
 
The people of Lisbon may rely on Florentino Luis and Chiquinho in the midfield. Enzo Fernandez, who went for Chelsea, and the former Parisian Draxler must be pleased with a substitute role. Last but not least, Benfica possesses outstanding offensive weapons like the successful Gonçalo Ramos, Rafa, and Joao Mario.
