Club Brugge vs Sporting preview
This match will be played on 10/12/2024 at Jan Breydel Stadium in Brugge, Belgium. Kick off will be at 20:00 GMT.
A Club Brugge team that has been firing on all cylinders domestically of late, winning each of their last four (league and cup), scoring an impressive 16 goals in the process, will now be looking to shift through the gears in the UEFA Champions League.
It’s not as if the Belgians have performed poorly on the continent, though, far from it. Sure, they lost in Milan, but they didn’t go down without a fight, while they beat Aston Villa at home, before securing a very respectable point away in Dortmund. Such efforts should mean that they approach this fixture against Sporting with a positive outlook.
A positive outlook may not be what the visitors have right now. Following the departure of Ruben Amorim, who had the Portuguese outfit playing well, the Sporting boys have struggled to be at their best, losing each of their last three fixtures, one of which was a terribly humbling home defeat in this competition.
Since the battering they took from Arsenal, they’ve not been able to recover, losing in rather shock fashion to Santa Clara (at home) in the league, before following up with an away-day defeat to Moreirense. They now need to bounce back.

Christos Tzolis to Score
It’s been tough for Club Brugge in this competition, but by beating Aston Villa in their most recent home game, they proved that they can cut it on home soil, and I really wouldn’t be surprised if they caused a Sporting side that is currently going through something of a transition (thanks to the recent departure of Ruben Amorim) a few problems.
Central to Brugge’s attacking plans is the lively Christos Tzolis, who has enjoyed some success in the Champions League this season, scoring against Sturm Graz, while he certainly made a nuisance of himself against Villa, testing keeper Emi Martinez, much as he did against AC Milan too.
To be honest, given his encouraging efforts against both Villa and Milan, the Greek forward looks a little generously priced to find the net here.
At the end of the day, he’ll enjoy playing on the break against a Sporting side that will push forward, while it’s not as if he’s struggling for shots in this competition, taking 12 shots in four games against Dortmund, Sturm Graz, AC Milan and Aston Villa, registering six on target.
His numbers are encouraging, that’s for sure, and with 13/5 on offer, I’m betting on Tzolis to bag his second goal of the competition.
