Not the best run of form for Club Brugge having won 2 lost 2 and drawn 1 in their last 5 matches. The main issue has been their defence conceding 11 goals in their last 5 matches. This could be an issue when facing a team with the attacking threat that Marseille can have. However, their attack has been strong recently scoring 13 goals in their last 5 matches with all 4 games they have scored in having seen at least 2 goals scored. They might have gain some confidence after their last Champions League match winning 4-1 however, that was against the team that currently sits bottom of the league, so the confidence gained would have been minimal. To get a result they will need to hope that the home fans can push their defence and help the attack.

Once again not the best form going into a game this important having only won 2 matches and losing 2 in 90 minutes and losing 3 overall. While 2 of the losses where against the top club currently in France and the other loss was against the current Premier League champions, this would have still damaged their confidence. Especially with the 3rd loss being a painful 2-0 loss to 16th placed Nates. This confidence might have been rebuilt though as the 2 wins where massive wins seeing 14 goals scored in those 2 wins. However, that is where almost all of their goals in the last 5 matches came from only seeing 2 goals scored outside of those 2 matches. However, they will still go into this game confident as the 3 away games they played where the only games that they scored, so based on that trend their away fans should be able to help them go forward.

Key Players to Watch: Club Brugge vs Marseille

Brandon Mechele (Club Brugge): The defender has contributed to 4 goals in the league this season and has contributed to 7 in all competitions including 2 in the Champions League. He has been a threat when going forward especially from corners. He has shown how dominant he can be from set pieces and even scored in their last match in the Champions League. However, he has also been very strong defensively having won 118 duels this season in the league and 64 of them were in the air. He will be vital in making sure that Club Brugge keep in the game and will be hoping that he can cause some issues from corners.

Mason Greenwood (Marseille): 15 goals contributions in 17 matches in France this season and 26 in all competitions. He has been very good for Marseille this season both in the league and Champions League and he will be hoping that he can score a few more and add to his tally in the Champions League, if he does expect Marseille to win this match.
