Club Brugge face FC Porto at the Jan Breydelstadion in the Champions League on Tuesday, Oct. 18. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Matchday three of the Champions League brings together the two struggling sides in Group G. Club Brugge’s struggles might have been expected but FC Porto’s certainly weren’t. Both teams are lagging behind in the group as Leicester lead the way with six points and FC Copenhagen sit in second place with four.
However, Porto will definitely see this as an opportunity to gain ground on those teams when they are hosted by the Group G whipping boys, Club Brugge. After 10 games and a poor start in the Belgian First Division, the 2015-16 champions are only in sixth place. They have been struggling on the European stage as well after losing both their opening group games and conceding seven goals in the process.

All that points to an easy win for Porto. On paper the experienced Champions League campaigners and relatively recent winners of the competition should be sitting top of this group. Their performance on matchday two at the King Power Stadium was woeful and it seemed that the team lacked intensity against a Leicester side who are making their debut in Europe’s premier club competition this season.

Both teams know that a loss here will make it incredibly difficult to progress to the second round of the competition. This could make for a cagey affair in which a goal is all that is needed to decide it. Brugge will need to be more resolute at the back while Porto need to generate a more potent attacking threat.
