German side RB Leipzig has struggled after the exit of Julian Nagelsmann but after a 6-0 win over Hertha Berlin, they will hope to continue on a good run when they host Club Brugge in Group A of the UEFA Champions League. Leipzig are bottom of the group after their 6-3 loss to Manchester City on Match Day 1 while Brugge are second after a 1-1 draw with PSG. With three wins in eight games, Leipzig are desperate for a good run; they are in a tough group and can’t afford to drop points again, with a game against PSG ahead. Christopher Nkunku has been their key performer and goes to this game with five goals in the last three matches, but Leipzig haven’t kept a lot of clean sheets. In their last four games, both teams have scored in three, then at home, they have won two of the last three matches, and kept two clean sheets. In the Champions League, they have three straight losses but these have come against very tough opponents compared to Brugge. In each of their last five Champions League matches, Leipzig have conceded two or more goals and three of their last five Champions League matches at home have seen over 2.5 goals scored.

Club Brugge go to this game straight from a 1-1 draw with OH Leuven in the Belgian league, and they will hope to better their impressive show against PSG as they drew 1-1 on Match Day 1. That result marked their fourth unbeaten game, and they have scored in each of their last five matches. Both sides have actually scored in three of Brugge’s last five matches and they have three wins and a loss in the five games. Three of their last five matches have as well produced over 2.5 goals and away from home, they have scored in each of the last five matches. In the UEFA Champions League, Brugge have one win in the last five matches and four have produced over 2.5 goals. Away from home in the same competition, both sides have scored in three and three have produced over 2.5 goals in the last five.
