Brugge – Juventus. Forecast and announcement for the Champions League match

On January 21, the match of the 7th round of the main round of the Champions League will take place at Jan Breidel, in which Club Brugge will meet Juventus. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Bruges

Last season’s team, having changed its coach before the finish line, was able to leapfrog Royal Union and regain the title in the Jupiler League. This ensured the Belgians the opportunity to return to the Champions League. They started there, losing twice in the first three rounds, at home to Borussia Dortmund and in Milan to the opponent of the same name. But at the same time, it was already possible to score 10 points, defeating Sturm, Aston Villa and Sporting under the condition of a draw in Glasgow with Celtic. So the club already has not one, but two legs in the playoffs, and now it is clear that no less attention will be paid not to meetings in the European Cup, but to focus on the race in the domestic arena, where a difficult race with Genk continues, and in which Nicky Geyen’s wards are still that in the unpleasant status of a team that is catching up.

Juventus

The club returned to third place in Serie A last season, adding to that victory in the Coppa Italia. But in 2024, a lot of claims have accumulated against Allegri, and football players. As a result, Massimiliano was fired early, immediately after the triumphant final of the Coppa Italia, and the composition was seriously changed in the summer. But at the same time, Thiago Motta’s wards are extremely unstable and receive a lot of criticism. In particular, in the Champions League. Stara Signora started there with victories over PSV and RB Leipzig. But then there was a defeat at home to Stuttgart and only draws with Aston Villa and Lille. However, any doubts about entering the play-offs of the European Cup were leveled by a 2-0 victory over Manchester City. Another matter is the indoor arena, where the lion’s share of Serie A matches ended in draws, and in the Super Cup they lost immediately to Milan. For now, it will obviously be a priority for the team from Turin.

Statistics of personal meetings

The clubs played in 1978 and 2005. The Belgians won once, but the other three matches were lost.

Forecast

Bookmakers do not particularly believe in the home team. But the motivation of the guests is questionable, it is worth trying a bet that the Belgians will not lose (coefficient – 1.727).
