On the 7th of September, in this week 1 match, Bayer Leverkusen and Club Brugge will play a match in Brugge in a meeting of these two Champions League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 17 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, Club Brugge recorded a 4-0 shutout win against Cercle Brugge. Andreas Skov Olsen struck first for Club Brugge in the 43rd minute on a feed from Ferran Jutglà, then Jean Marcelin added another on an own goal in the 59th minute In the end, Cercle Brugge couldn’t muster any offence and Club Brugge ran away with the shutout win. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Club Brugge should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Bayer Leverkusen recorded a 2-3 loss against Freiburg. Kerem Demirbay struck first for Bayer Leverkusen in the 16th minute, then Matthias Ginter tied it up for Freiburg in the 48th minute on a feed from Vincenzo Grifo But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 72nd minute on a goal by Ritsu Doan. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Bayer Leverkusen’s most prolific scorer has been Jeremie Frimpong. He has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches. Club Brugge is fortunate enough to have Ferran Jutglà in top form. In the last five matches the midfielder has scored 4 goals.
