📈 Bayern Munich v Club Brugge Form & Tactics
Bayern Munich have looked unstoppable across the opening months of the season, impressively taking top honours from each of their 11 matches across all competitions. That stunning string of victories is made all the more impressive by the fact that the Bavarians have hit multiple goals in each of those 11 triumphs. That can be attributed to the fact that Vincent Kompany’s free-scoring side have racked up 27 strikes across their opening seven Bundesliga matches of the season.
On top of all that, Bayern have netted a joint-high eight goals across the opening two rounds of action in this season’s Champions League.
While Bayern Munich have been blowing teams away this season, their backline was breached during their home wins over both Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund while they failed to silence Pafos away from home on matchday two.
After qualifying for this season’s Champions League by brilliantly dismantling Rangers in the play-off round, Club Brugge hit the ground running in style with a 4-1 win over Monaco on matchday one. Nicky Hayen’s side then looked to be on course for back-to-back wins before conceding two late goals when going down 2-1 at Atalanta last month.
The Blue-Black are ticking along nicely in this season’s Belgian Pro League, winning four of their last five matches – the most notable of which was a 1-0 victory over league leaders and defending champions Union Saint-Gilloise.
Club Brugge did not pick up a single card during their 2-1 loss to Atalanta on matchday two. What’s more, Hayen’s side have statistically been the best behaved team in this season’s Belgian top-flight, collecting a combined total of just 16 cards across their opening 11 games of the campaign.
