With only three rounds left in the Champions League regular season, every game becomes increasingly important, especially for teams that didn't collect enough points to secure a place in the next phase of the competition. On Wednesday, Club Brugge will welcome Arsenal in another important match. Can the Belgian side stun the league leader? Let's break down the game and find the best betting option for the upcoming clash.
Club Brugge team overview
Club Brugge are not playing well this season. In the domestic competition, they are already five points behind the league leader, Royale Union SG. Nicky Hayen's team are not at the expected level in the Champions League, either, as Club Brugge collected only four points so far and will have to improve to have a realistic chance for the knockout phase. Unfortunately for the Belgian side, their next game is against one of the best teams in Europe.
Club Brugge have been terrible lately, with three defeats in the last four matches. In the most recent outing, they lost 3-2 on the road against St. Truiden. The home side allowed xG of 2.90 and could be humiliated by Arsenal on Wednesday if they don't improve their defense.
Club Brugge didn't play well against St. Truiden, but the head coach still have a lot of faith in success on Wednesday against Arsenal. He said, "The most important thing is to keep supporting each other, even in those difficult moments. We also did a lot of good things today. And also next Wednesday, we will do everything we can to create an upset."
Club Brugge have some problems with missing players. Lynnt Audoor, Nordin Jackers, and Ludovit Reis are injured and will not play in the upcoming round. Also, Simon Mignolet is questionable.

Arsenal team overview
The 2025/26 season could be the best for Arsenal in more than 20 years. They are the Premier League leaders, with two points ahead of the next team on the table, Manchester City, while in the Champions League, Mikel Arteta's team is the only team with all five wins. Arsenal were on an impressive run of 18 games without defeat until last weekend, when they lost 2-1 on the road against Aston Villa. The teams were pretty even throughout the game and a draw was probably the fairest outcome, but the home side stole a victory and left Arsenal empty-handed.
Arsenal lost against Aston Villa, but there is no reason for Mikel Arteta to lose confidence in his players. After defeat, he said, "It's time to bounce back. They have given me all the right reasons to think that we're going to continue to perform."
Arsenal will be without Gabriel and Kai Havertz on Wednesday at Jan Breydel Stadion, while Cristhian Mosquera and William Saliba are questionable.
