- Competition: Champions League
- Date: Tuesday, 12th February 2025
- Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
- Venue: Jan Breydel Stadion (Brugge)
For Club Brugge, winning the Belgian Jupiler League is a priority every season, so being six points behind the league leader, Genk, hardly satisfies fans or the board. In the Champions League, Club Brugge didn't blow anyone with their performances, but the team from Jan Breydel Stadion sneaked into the playoffs. Club Brugge struggled lately as they were on the run of five games without a victory until the previous match when Nicky Hayen's team won 1-0 at home against Leuven. That was another game in which Club Brugge struggled with efficiency, but luckily, still secured all three points.
Atalanta have a very good season. However, they finished one point short of the Champions League top eight teams, so Gian Piero Gasperini's team will have to beat Club Brugge to progress to the 1/8 final. In the Italian Serie A, Atalanta looks like a stable top-four team. Atalanta showed some signs of slowing down in form, but they trashed 5-0 Verona on the road in the last Serie A round and will travel to Belgium with a lot of confidence.
Club Brugge vs Atalanta pick: Under 2.5 goals
Club Brugge's problems with the attack have been obvious lately. They scored five goals in the last six matches. On the other hand, Atalanta allowed only two goals in the previous three games. We shouldn't see more than two goals in the upcoming Champions League tie.
Club Brugge team news
Club Brugge haven't played well lately, but the head coach, Nicky Hayen, said that a crowded schedule was the most critical factor for subpar performances. Club Brugge tried postponing the game against Leuven to prepare better for Atalanta, but the Jupiler Pro League refused. Van Hayen rotated the squad against Leuven to rest the most important players.
