Bayern Munich vs. Club Brugge: Match Prediction
The Munich side has been dominant in every competition, showcasing exceptional scoring prowess. This season, Vincent Kompany's team has not scored fewer than two goals, netting a total of 16 goals in their last six Champions League matches. With such attacking numbers, Bayern tends to overlook their regular defensive errors. The team has conceded in 9 of their last 11 Champions League games, keeping a clean sheet only twice in this period against Bayer.
The Belgians have shown similar results. In the current tournament, the team exchanged goals with both opponents, with at least three goals scored in 10 of Brugge's last 11 Champions League games. Even away from home, the club is not shy about attacking, scoring in 9 of their last 10 European fixtures. However, in this period, Niki Hayen's side has kept a clean sheet only twice. Against Bayern, with such a defense, they are unlikely to hold out.
My prediction: Both teams to score and Total over 2.5 goals – yes
