UEFA Champions League Betting Picks:

Manchester City Win & BTTS – 2.50

Over 2.5 Goals & BTTS – 2.13

Bet on Man City vs Club Brugge

City to Claim Vital European Victory

Man City’s Champions League dreams are hanging by a thread after taking just eight points from seven matches. The Citizens are in 25th place, but a win on Wednesday will guarantee a spot in the play-offs.

Brugge go into the final game three points above City in 20th. They have had a decent campaign, picking up three wins from seven. A positive result in Manchester will be enough for a play-off place.

Man City’s results have improved lately, but Guardiola’s boys let a 2-0 lead slip to lose 4-2 to Paris Saint-Germain in their last Champions League game. However, they bounced back with a 3-1 Premier League victory over Chelsea on Saturday.

Brugge are unbeaten since losing to AC Milan in the Champions League in October. The Belgian champions are on one of the best undefeated runs in Europe, but this will be a stern test for Nicky Hayen’s men.

Recent Manchester City vs Club Brugge Head-to-Head Meetings

These two sides met in the Champions League group stage in the 2021-22 season. Man City dominated both matches, scoring nine and conceding two.

In the game in Belgium, Guardiola’s boys ran out comfortable 5-1 winners, with Riyad Mahrez helping himself to a brace. At the Etihad a few weeks later, goals from Phil Foden, Mahrez, Raheem Sterling, and Gabriel Jesus gave City a 4-1 victory.

Manchester City vs Club Brugge Betting Tips & Predictions

If Man City beat Brugge on Wednesday, they will secure a play-off spot. It has been a nervy campaign for the Premier League champions, but they should get the job done.

The in-form away side could play their part, so why not back the Man City win and both teams to score at 2.50? We also like the look of over 2.5 goals and both teams to score at 2.13.
