Arsenal

Arsenal are aiming to maintain their perfect record when they travel to Club Brugge for a match-day six clash in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League.

The Gunners will view this as a chance to get back on track, having stumbled domestically lately. They should be too strong for the hosts, who are enduring a difficult time in the competition.

Club Brugge News

It has been a difficult league phase campaign for Club Brugge, who have picked up just one win from their opening five matches. Nicky Hayen’s team fell to a 3-0 defeat at Sporting CP in their previous fixture.

That result is part of a poor run for Club Brugge, having lost three of their last four matches, including a 3-2 defeat at St Truiden in a domestic clash last weekend. They were also beaten 1-0 by Antwerp in their previous home fixture.

Poor defending has been one of the problems for Club Brugge, having failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in six matches in this run while six of those fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Arsenal News

Arsenal are the only perfect team left in the Champions League, having won all five of their league phase matches, leading at the break in three of those games. Mikel Arteta's team claimed a 3-1 home victory over Bayern Munich in their previous fixture.

While Arsenal remain top of the table both domestically and in the Champions League, they have stumbled slightly lately, particularly on their travels. The Gunners are winless in their last three away matches and were beaten 2-1 at Aston Villa in an English Premier League clash.

Goals are not a problem for Arsenal, who have scored in every game across all competitions this season. However, they are without a clean sheet in five of their last six matches across all competitions, while four of those fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

This will be the first-ever meeting between Club Brugge and Arsenal.

Verdict

Club Brugge v Arsenal

Arsenal will be keen to bounce back after last weekend's defeat at Villa Park. They should be fired up for this one, and having led at the break in three of their five league phase matches, a repeat could be on the cards.

The Gunners are expected to get the better of a struggling Club Brugge side and should earn a win and over 2.5 goals for the fourth straight league phase fixture. Neither defence has been convincing lately, and both teams could be backed to score here.
