The upcoming Champions League fixture features Club Brugge hosting Barcelona on Wednesday evening. The Catalan side will look to advance their campaign with nine points from four matches. Brugge currently sit 20th in the 36-team league phase standings with just three points. Meanwhile Barcelona have six points and occupy ninth place.
Brugge are arriving in solid domestic form. They’re enjoying a three-match winning streak in all competitions and clinging to second place in the Belgian Pro League. Whereas, Barcelona are rebuilding form after a mixed start to their European journey. They suffered one defeat in the group phase already.

Brugge will be without four players on Wednesday. Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, defender Bjorn Meijer, midfielder Ludovit Reis and defensive-shielding midfielder Raphael Onyedika are all ruled out through injury. In their stead, second-choice keeper Nordin Jackers is likely to take the gloves. Standout forward Christos Tzolis with eight goals, eight assists this season should feature. Fellow attacker Nicolo Tresoldi with six goals and three assists should accompany Tzolis to the home side’s offensive threat.

Barcelona are set to welcome back Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo. Both players have returned from injury in their recent La Liga win. However, they still face several absences. Joan Garcia is not quite match-fit yet. Andreas Christensen remains a major doubt following a calf issue. Meanwhile, the likes of Lamine Yamal, Gavi, Pedri, and Raphinha are also all sidelined because of injuries.
Expect a high-scoring encounter given the contrasting strengths and vulnerabilities. Club Brugge are riding a three-game winning streak domestically. But they’ve conceded goals in their European outings and sit near the bottom of the group phase. Barcelona have formidable attacking players and have shown they can score freely. Though they’ve also been exposed defensively at times. With both sides likely to commit forward and with defensive gaps to exploit, the over 3.5 goals line appears well justified.
Marcus Rashford has been a key figure for Barcelona in recent weeks. In latest Champions League appearances, he has already contributed significantly in terms of goals and assists. It makes him a prime candidate to find the net in this match. Given his current form and the attacking role he occupies, backing Rashford to score anytime at +110 offers reasonable value.
Fermin Lopez has emerged as a creative and goal-threatening presence in Barcelona’s attacking unit. His inclusion as an attacking midfielder adds an extra dimension to their build-up play and final-third transitions. With several senior attackers still recovering, Lopez is likely to be handed more responsibility and chances to influence the outcome. That makes the -125 line for him to score or assist a strong proposition.
| Picks | Moneyline |
| Fermin Lopez to score first | +650 |
| Ferran Torres to score anytime | -110 |
| Marcus Rashford to assist anytime | +190 |
| Lamine Yamal to either score or assist | -190 |
| Hugo Vetlesen to see a card | +180 |
| Joaquin Seys to foul at least once | -125 |

Barcelona travel to Belgium with an attacking edge. They also believe that they can break through amateurish defensive performances by Brugge. Brugge are strong at home and riding good momentum domestically. But their European record has shown cracks. Now they are set to face a Barcelona side with depth and variety in attack.
A 3-1 win for the visitors looks likely. Brugge may notch a goal from Tzolis or Tresoldi. However, Barcelona’s superior individual quality and fresher attacking combinations should secure them the three points.
The Club Brugge vs Barcelona Champions League clash is on November 5, 2025, at the Jan Breydel Stadium, Bruges, Belgium.
Barcelona are favorites to win with a moneyline at -210, to draw at +400 and for Brugge to win at +450.
Ferran Torres to score anytime: +110
Marcus Rashford to assist anytime: +200
Lamine Yamal to either score or assist: -275
