Tactical Analysis
Bayern are expected to control possession and apply sustained pressure, using their width and vertical passing to stretch Brugge’s compact defensive setup. The Belgian champions will likely focus on structured defending and counterattacks, hoping to exploit any spaces left behind by Bayern’s high line.
Key duel: Harry Kane vs. Brandon Mechele — the English striker’s movement and clinical finishing could determine the flow of the match.
Prediction
Bayern’s quality and depth make them overwhelming favorites at home. While Club Brugge have shown resilience in Europe, the German champions’ firepower should prove too much to handle.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 3–0 Club Brugge
