H2H: Paris Saint-Germain vs. Club Brugge KV – Prediction (Champions League

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Paris Saint-Germain’s only previous European meeting with Club Brugge was on MD3, winning 5-0 at the Jan Breydelstadion.

Undefeated in their last 22 UEFA Champions League (UCL) group stage home outings (W17, D5), Thomas Tuchel’s Paris Saint-Germain side have started their 2019/20 campaign perfectly, winning their opening three UCL fixtures without even conceding a single goal. PSG have also now found the net in each of their last 27 UCL fixtures! Mauro Icardi and Kylian Mbappé have netted PSG’s last six UCL goals between them, scoring three apiece. When they win, ‘Les Parisiens’ also tend to shut out the opposition, as eight of their last nine competitive wins at Parc des Princes have seen them win ‘to-nil’. Furthermore, the fact that they are unbeaten in their five historical competitive home fixtures versus Belgian opposition (W3, D2), while scoring 3.0 goals per-game, will bring confidence to their fans.

Seven of PSG’s last eight UCL home wins have been settled by a three-goal margin or greater. Three of Brugge’s last four UCL group stage away fixtures have featured exactly four match goals. Brugge’s competitive away record vs French opposition currently stands at: W2, D1, L7.

Club Brugge’s 5-0 home loss against PSG on matchday three made it five consecutive group stage matches without a win in the competition (D4, L1). Moreover, the fact that they’ve failed to score in three of those games will surely concern coach Philippe Clement. Club Brugge striker Emmanuel Dennis has scored his team’s two goals in the competition, with both strikes coming during the first half of play. On a more positive note, however, the visitors come into this game hoping to complete a run of 11 straight competitive road trips without a loss (currently W8, D2). Furthermore, the ‘Blauw-Zwart’ remain unbeaten in their 2019/20 Pro League campaign (W10, D3), with eight of those wins being accompanied by a clean sheet.
