Borussia Dortmund return to Champions League after a painful 0-2 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid in the previous edition’s final at Wembley Stadium.
Die Schwarzgelben enjoyed a fairytale run last time out, topping the so-called group of death before eliminating the likes of PSV Eindhoven, Atletico Madrid, and PSG in the knockout stages.
Borussia, however, lacked such impressiveness in the domestic league where they ended 27 points shy of unbeaten champions Bayer Leverkusen.
It was only enough for a fifth-place finish and a change on the bench as Nuri Sahin took over Edin Terzic as the team’s new head coach this summer.
Club Brugge missed out on the Champions League for the first time in seven years last season but they produced a very strong Conference League campaign as a consolation.
The Belgians made it all the way to the semi-final where they fell to Italian side Fiorentina after two thrilling ties.
Club Brugge vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Club Brugge boosted confidence with four straight domestic wins. Such form brought them to the top of the First Division A standings after seven inaugural rounds.
The latest of their successes came four days ago in a 3-0 drubbing of Kortrijk on the road.
Borussia Dortmund will also come into this on a high after a 4-2 victory over Hoffenheim. Nuri Sahin’s men have two wins and a draw from the opening three rounds of the new Bundesliga campaign.
