UEFA Champions League XI: Club Brugge vs Galatasaray

UEFA Champions League XI: Club Brugge vs Galatasaray

Teams: Club Brugge vs Galatasaray

Date: 26 November 2019

Brugge head into their match against Galatasaray knowing their hopes of remaining in the competition hinge on a win in Turkey. 

The Belgians have taken just two points from their opening four UCL matches this season, and must win to keep pace with group leaders Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, and hope that the latter lose their match on Tuesday night. 

PSG currently sit at the top of the Group A standings with 12 points and have secured their progression, but Brugge could still, theoretically, overtake Los Blancos' seven-point tally if they win both of their remaining matches.

A win for Philippe Clement's side tonight would at the very least guarantee a spot in the next round of the UEFA Europa League, while a defeat would see the club slip to the bottom of the table. 

The two sides played out to a goalless draw in the reverse fixture back in September, and Brugge have never lost to their opponents, winning once and drawing the other fixture back in the 2002/03 edition of the competition. 

Club Brugge: Mignolet, Mata, Mechele, Deli, Ricca, Balanta, Rits, Vanaken, Dennis, Openda, Diatta.
