"This has the makings of a tight contest, but home advantage should give Club Brugge enough of a boost to at least come away with a point.

They’ve already proven their credentials in qualifying, brushing aside RB Salzburg and Rangers, winning the home and away legs on both occasions. The most recent of those games was a 6-0 rout against Rangers, to cap off a 9-1 aggregate win.

Brugge also showed their European pedigree last season, claiming wins against Aston Villa, Sporting Lisbon, and Atalanta (twice), and holding Juventus to a draw. Monaco’s record pales in comparison: they won just four of their 10 matches, with one of those owing to their opponents playing with 10 men for 80 minutes."

"Napoli saw BTTS last time out as they ran out 3-1 winners over Fiorentina, to take their early season form to three wins from three matches. They’ve scored six goals across these games and the goal they conceded against Fiorentina was the first they’ve let in this season, though I expect that to change here.

Man City have scored eight goals across their opening four Premier League matches this season, but have only managed to keep two clean sheets - against two sides that have started the season really poorly in Man United and Wolves.

Napoli will test City’s backline a lot more regularly with the likes of De Bruyne, McTominay and Hojlund. I’m still not convinced that City’s backline is rock solid and I still also still anticipate a bit of a bedding in process for Donnarumma, which could lead to some mistakes at the back for the Cityzens."

"I struggle to see many sides stopping Barcelona from scoring at least two goals in the majority of their games this season. Their scoring power is relentless and they’ve already shown that a few times this season, with their 6-0 win over Valencia last time out being particularly impressive.

Barcelona have scored 2+ goals in three of their four LaLiga matches this season. Only Rayo Vallecano stopped Barcelona from scoring twice in the early stages of this season, and I do think Newcastle will struggle to contain the Barcelona frontline.

Barcelona scored 102 goals across their 38 matches in LaLiga last season (2.68 per game). 50 of these goals came across their 19 away matches (2.63 per game), so they are just as proficient on the road as they are when being the home side."
