Manchester City is will try to exercise the demons of its loss to Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League final last year when it takes on Club Brugge in their second meeting of Group A play. Man City was merciless in their first match on October 19, when they dropped Brugge 5-1. Should City pull ahead of Paris-Saint Germain in the standings, it would have a clear advantage going forward over their French counterparts on goal differential. Brugge started the competition as one of its surprises with a 1-1 draw against PSG, but needs a win to advance. You can see what happens next when you stream the match live on Paramount+.

UEFA Champions League picks for Club Brugge vs. Manchester City
Before you tune in to Wednesday’s match, you need to see the Manchester City vs. Club Brugge picks from SportsLine’s soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated well over $36,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
He’s also been red-hot on his Champions League picks since joining SportsLine. In fact, Green is on a blistering 86-53-5 run on his UCL best bets. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
For Manchester City vs. Club Brugge, Green is picking City attacker Ruyad Mahrez to score at -118 odds. Mahrez leads the club in scoring during Champions League play with three goals. He’s finished with four goals in the competition twice before, and given the last result between the two sides, he could be in line to match his career-high.
Brugge hasn’t played in such a fashion that it looks to win every phase of the game. Rather, it has taken an opportunistic approach. That strategy might work against lesser opponents, but not against the quality City brings to the table. Domestically, Mahrez has been a difference-maker in the Premier League and has two goals in eight appearances.
“[Against RB Leipzig,] Brugge was happy to allow the opposition to dominate possession, and it mounted lots of devastating counterattacks,” Green told SportsLine. “City had 22 shots on goal [on October 19], and Kevin De Bruyne came within a whisker of scoring on a couple of occasions, so the winning margin could have been heavier. If it plays like that again, it could be a difficult 90 minutes for Brugge.”
