Club Brugge is coming into this match playing in very good form in their recent matches. They have won their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 matches and their attack has been very good in these. They have scored at least 2 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches and have scored 9 goals total in their last 3 straight, and their defense has not been bad either as they have allowed 2 goals in their last 3 matches. When playing at home, they have been in much better form recently as they have won their last 2 straight there as well as having no losses in their last 3, and they have outscored opponents 8-2 in their last 2 home matches as well. They lost their last Champions League match away from home against AC Milan 3-1, but they do have a 1-0 away win over Sturm Graz. Their 1st Champions League match was a 3-0 loss at home against Dortmund, but they played very well in that match as all 3 goals were scored in the last 15 mins of the match. They are going up against an Aston Villa side that is 3-0-0 in Champions League right now and only 1 of 2 perfect teams left in the league phase, but they have not been in good form in their recent matches. They are coming off of a 4-1 away loss against Tottenham over the weekend and they have lost their last 2 straight with no wins in their last 3 matches. Their attack has scored 1 goal in each of these 3 matches, but their defense has been awful as they have allowed 6 goals in their last 2 matches alone. They have also struggled away from home recently as they only have 1 win in their last 3 away matches and 1 of those was a 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town. Club Brugge only has 1 win from 3 matches and they need some points here as this will be the halfway point of the league phase, and they have been in much better form recently so they will not lay down and die in this match. Club Brugge will win this match or at least draw, take Club Brugge +0.5 here.
