Benfica vs Club Brugge Comments: Sad to leave the game
The door to the quarterfinals was almost closed for Club Brugge after the Belgian team let Benfia beat 2-0 at home. To go upstream, Club Brugge needs to score at least 3 goals and keep a clean sheet when the two teams rematch at Da Luz.
Of course, few believe in the shocking ability of Club Brugge, especially after a lackluster performance 3 weeks ago. It was a match where Scott Parker's teachers and students were inferior to their opponents in all aspects, from expertise to competitive spirit.
Not to mention, this is the time when Club Brugge's performance is very low. Last weekend, the blue team lost 3 goals on Oostende's field. According to statistics, Club Brugge only won 3 out of the last 20 matches, the rest drew 10, lost 7. Away, they won 1, drew 3, lost 7 in the last 7 matches.
Contrary to Club Brugge, Benfica is gaining ground in terms of form, as shown by winning all of the last 4 matches, all with a difference of 2 goals. More broadly, they are on a 12-match unbeaten streak, with 10 wins, 2 draws. With the current correlation, it is likely that Club Brugge will have another bitter taste before the Portuguese representative.
