Borussia Dortmund begins UCL campaign against Club Brugge.
In a UEFA Champions League encounter brimming with intrigue, Club Brugge, buoyed by a formidable run of victories, hosts Borussia Dortmund, the previous season's finalists, at Jan Breydel Stadion, with both sides eager to launch their European campaigns on a high note.
Club Brugge
A remarkable run of four consecutive victories has propelled Club Brugge to the summit of the Belgian league. Their recent 3-0 triumph over Kortrijk has boosted their points tally to 13, and impressively, they have conceded just once in their last four outings.
The 19-time Belgian champions now face a daunting challenge as they take on last season's UEFA Champions League finalists. This marks Club Brugge’s 11th appearance in the Champions League, just one short of Anderlecht’s record, and it is the third time both teams have been drawn together in the past seven seasons.
Participating in the competition for the sixth time in seven seasons, Brugge will aim to build on their 2022/23 campaign, which saw them advance to the knockout stage for the first time. This will be their first clash against German opposition since a goalless draw with Bayer Leverkusen on Matchday 6 of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League edition.
Brugge have managed just three wins from their last 20 home games in the competition proper. However, their strong home form offers optimism, as they remained unbeaten in Europe at home last season with six wins and three draws.
Gustaf Nilsson is set to lead the line in a 4-2-3-1 formation, although manager Nicky Hayen may be without Bjorn Meijer, who is in doubt with a knee injury.
Borussia Dortmund
Meanwhile, last season's UCL finalists Borussia Dortmund are eager to begin their European campaign on the right foot. They come into this fixture on a high, following a thrilling 4-2 victory over Heidenheim in the Bundesliga. Currently, they sit in 2nd place and remain unbeaten with two wins and a draw from three matches.
Dortmund has a historically strong record against Club Brugge, having won five of their eight encounters. Their form in Belgium has been equally impressive, winning their last four visits after losing their first three. Notably, they have kept clean sheets in each of those four wins, a stark contrast to the eight goals conceded across their initial three defeats.
This match marks Dortmund's 19th appearance in the Champions League proper and their ninth consecutive season in the competition. Remarkably, they've advanced to the knockout stages in all but two of their last 11 campaigns. The 1997 European champions are set to field a strong 4—3—3 formation, with Karim Adeyemi and Donyell Malen supporting new signing Serhou Guirassy in attack.
However, manager Nuri Şahin faces a challenge with Giovanni Reyna sidelined due to a groin injury.
