Manchester City vs Club Brugge prediction and odds: Pep Guardiola's side far too strong but don't be surprised if they concede once again

It will be up there with some of the biggest shocks in Champions League history should Manchester City not be able to see off Club Brugge at the Etihad on Wednesday evening.

The Belgian side are a huge 29/1 to come away from the Etihad with three points but few will be tempted even by that price given the obvious class gulf between these sides when they met last month.

City hit Brugge for five at the Jan Breydelstadion, racking up 21 efforts on goal in the process, and a similar scenario looks on the cards when Philippe Clement's side come to Manchester on Wednesday night.

However, it might be unwise to underestimate a Brugge side that has already won at Leipzig and held PSG to a draw in this group. They have also not failed to score in any away game they have played this season.

City have been led the way in terms of defensive stats in the Premier League but they have already conceded five goals in the 2021/22 Champions League, which is one more than in all 13 games of last year's competition.

Crystal Palace caused the City defence countless problems at the weekend and Pep Guardiola's side shipped three against a very ordinary Leipzig outfit in their last Champions League home fixture.

Manchester City vs Club Brugge prediction

City hadn't conceded a league goal at the Etihad until Saturday but Pep Guardiola's side haven't had quite the same aura defensively in Europe and they look vulnerable in that regard.

It is going to take something pretty spectacular for City to not come away from this with all three points but it wouldn't be the biggest shock if they conceded in the process. It's 31/20 that both teams score in this game but we can boos that to over 2/1 by combining it with a Manchester City win.

Recommended bet: Manchester City win and both teams to score (yes) - 41/20
