Preview
Club Brugge come into this after losing 4-1 away to Manchester City in their previous UCL clash on MD 4.
Foden’s early strike was cancelled out by Stones’ own goal before Mahrez, Sterling and Jesus ramped up the goals in the second half to inflict a 2nd loss of the campaign on Brugge.
This loss left Brugge in 3rd place with 4 points from 4 matches, having a slight chance to keep their hopes alive.
A win tonight is needed as anything less knocks them out of the competition.
On the other hand, RB Leipzig played out a 2-2 home draw against PSG in their previous UCL match.
This ensured an exit from the competition having gained 1 point from 4 matches; with 2 matches left.
Nkunku broke the deadlock before Wijnaldum scored a first half brace but Szoboszlai’s extra time penalty ensured a share of the spoils.
However, Leipzig can still qualify for Europa League if they win their remaining matches.
Both sides last met on MD 2, where Club Brugge beat RB Leipzig 2-1 away from home.

Brugge are still in with a chance as their qualification hopes heap on wins in their next 2 matches.
Leipzig’s form has been poor this season across competitions and in the UCL, they are staring down the barrel.
We expect Brugge to win this one as they have performed well at home this campaign and are a stronger side as well.
Players to watch out for: Lang, De Ketelaere, Nkunku and Forsberg.
