Club Brugge and Arsenal will battle for three points in a UEFA Champions League fixture on Wednesday (December 10). The game will be played at Jan Breydel Stadion.
The hosts will be looking to bounce back from the 3-2 defeat they suffered away to St. Truiden in the Jupiler Pro League over the weekend. Nigeria international Raphael Onyedika broke the deadlock to put the visitors ahead in the seventh minute, but Arbnor Muja equalized in the 21st minute while Ryotaro Ito turned the game around from the spot in the 32nd. Kaye Furo equalized in the 70th minute while Andres Ferrar stepped off the bench to score the match-winner.
Trending
Arsenal, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat away to Aston Villa in the Premier League. They went into the break behind to Matty Cash's 36th-minute opener. Leandro Trossard came off the bench at halftime and levelled the game 11 minutes into the second half. Late substitute Emiliano Buendia won the game with the last kick of the match in the fifth minute of injury time.
The Gunners will shift their focus back to the continent, where their last game saw them claim a morale-boosting 3-1 home win over Bayern Munich. Club Brugge were thrashed 3-0 away to Sporting CP.

Club Brugge vs Arsenal Prediction
Club Brugge sit just outside the top 24, having won just one of five UCL games so far. That sole win came in front of their fans, while the other home game saw them hold Barcelona to a 3-3 draw, so they can draw inspiration from that.
Arsenal are the only side with a 100% record in the UCL. Mikel Arteta's side saw their Premier League title hopes dented over the weekend but will be hoping to bounce back.
We are backing the visitors to claim a multi-goal victory with goals at both ends.
