Club Brugge vs Arsenal prediction
Arsenal’s depth has been significantly tested of late and will be again here away at Belgian side Club Brugge, who are trying to end a run of four Champions League games without a win, having picked up just one point across those matches since beating Monaco in their opening game of the league phase.
The Gunners combine impeccable defence with an attacking always capable of finding the net more than once and in different ways. Whether it be open play or set pieces, you can never switch off against this Arsenal team. Club Brugge are likely to learn that over the course of this contest as they try to balance defence with attack.
Ultimately though, when you compare the two sides it is Arsenal who are clearly stronger in all departments despite their numerous missing players. Mikel Arteta boasts a squad of substantial quality across the pitch and that should be reflected in the final scoreline, which is expected to be an away win.
