Club Brugge

Club Brugge will be hoping to bounce back here after the 3-2 First Division A loss in their previous game against Sint-Truidense VV.

In that match, Club Brugge managed 57% possession and 20 shots on goal with 9 of them on target. For Club Brugge, the goalscorers were Raphael Onyedika (15') and Kaye Furo (69'). At the other end, Sint-Truiden had 14 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Arbnor Muja (20'), Ryotaro Ito (31') and Andrés Ferrari (80') scored for Sint-Truidense VV.

It has been seldom in recent times that Club Brugge haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Club Brugge have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 8 goals in the process.

Arsenal

After suffering a loss in their previous game against Aston Villa in Premier League action, Arsenal and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, Arsenal had 53% possession and 15 shots at goal with 9 on target. The scorer for Arsenal was Leandro Trossard (52'). Aston Villa had 15 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Matty Cash (36') and Emiliano Buendía (95') scored for Aston Villa.

Arsenal have been a threat going forward of late, having scored 13 times in their last 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Arsenal have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 5 of those same games. That trend won’t necessarily be continued here, though.

ℹ️ Team News: Club Brugge

In our view, Blauw-Zwart may well employ a 4-2-3-1 system for the game, handing starts to Simon Mignolet, Hugo Siquet, Joel Ordonez, Brandon Mechele, Joaquin Seys, Aleksandar Stankovic, Raphael Onyedika, Carlos Forbs, Hans Vanaken, Christos Tzolis and Nicolo Tresoldi.

📋 Team News: Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has a number of players out of action. Cristhian Mosquera (Ankle injury), William Saliba (Knock), Kai Havertz (Knee injury) and Gabriel Magalhães (Hamstring injury) are not able to play. Gabriel Jesus will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We reckon that The Gunners seem most likely to play in a 4-3-3 formation, starting the game with David Raya, Ben White, Jurrien Timber, Piero Hincapie, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Martin Oedegaard, Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Mikel Merino and Eberechi Eze.

💡 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Club Brugge have enough to breach the defence of this Arsenal side, although just one goal may not be enough to prevent defeat.

We can see a narrow 1-2 advantage for Arsenal at the end of the match. There looks to be little in this one.
