Club Brugge vs. Porto: Prediction, Preview, Team News, Lineups
Prediction:
With just one game remaining, Porto moved up to nine points, four points clear of Atleti, leaving Brugge, which was already guaranteed a top-two finish, on 10 points.
After Brugge had won three of their first four group games, the game abruptly ended their remarkable run. Before Wednesday, they had not given up a goal in Group B.
Preview:
After losing their first two games, Porto swept to a convincing third straight victory in the group. They appeared defensively frail and made mistakes.
Following a brilliantly weighted through ball from captain Otavio in the 33rd minute, Taremi wasted two early opportunities before scoring the game’s first goal.
Team News:
When defender David Carmo was fouled three minutes into the second half, Brugge was awarded a penalty.
Porto then carved apart the Brugge defence with Evanilson snapping up a missed clearance to make it 2-0 in the 57th minute and Eustaquio adding the third three minutes later.
Lineups:
Club Brugge possible starting lineup:
Mignolet; Meijer, Boyata, Mechele, Odoi; Vanaken, Onyedika, Nielsen; Skov Olsen, Jutgla, Lang
Porto possible starting lineup:
Costa; Sanusi, Carmo, Cardoso, Conceicao; Galeno, Eustaquio, Uribe, Otavio; Taremi, Evanilson
