Club Brugge vs Juventus Prediction
Both of these sides could drop out of the qualification places if they do not pick up a win from their final two group stage matches.
With that in mind, we expect a cagey affair in Belgium but Juventus’ superior quality should earn the Italian side a narrow victory – especially as the Italian side are heavy favourites on UK betting sites.
Prediction: Club Brugge 1-2 Juventus
