Match background

Club Brugge are looking to end a long run without a home UEFA Champions League group stage victory as they welcome Borussia Dortmund to Belgium. • There is only one point between the sides in what is shaping up to be a three-way tussle at the top of Group F. Club Brugge have four points thanks to a 2-1 opening win at Zenit and 1-1 draw at home to Lazio; Dortmund went down 3-1 in Italy on the opening night but got back on track with a 2-0 defeat of Zenit on home soil. Previous meetings • The teams were paired together in the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League group stage, Dortmund's Christian Pulišić scoring the only of those two games in the 85th minute in Belgium on Matchday 1. • Prior to that season, the teams had each won two of their four matches, all at home – but Club Brugge emerged victorious in both ties, both in dramatic circumstances. • In the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round, each side won the home leg 2-1, sending the tie into a penalty shoot-out in Dortmund which was won 4-2 by the vistors. • Dortmund appeared to have seized control of their 1986/87 UEFA Cup third round tie against Club Brugge with a 3-0 first-leg success in West Germany – only for the Belgian side to score three times themselves in the return to force extra time. There goals from and Leo Van der Elst (no relation), with the latter completing his hat- trick, sealed a spectacular comeback. Form guide Club Brugge • Club Brugge are in the group stage for the third year in a row, the first time they have achieved that feat; it is their eighth UEFA Champions League group appearance overall. They have never progressed to the knockout rounds. • In 2019/20, the Belgian side finished third behind Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in Group A, picking up three points (D3 L3). It was the second year running they had finished third in their group. • They went on to lose to Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 (1-1 h, 0-5 a). • The Matchday 1 win at Zenit was only Club Brugge's second victory in their last 20 fixtures in the UEFA Champions League proper (D7 L11); they have won none of their last 11 home matches in the group stage (D5 L6), since a 3-2 defeat of Rapid Wien in November 2005. • Club Brugge are without a win in five home European matches (D3 L2), since a 2-1 defeat of LASK in the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League play-offs. That was their third straight home victory; they had lost only one of their eight previous home European matches (W3 D4) before their current winless streak started. • The Bruges club have won only one of their last 11 fixtures against German clubs, home and away (D3 L7) – that 2003 defeat of Dortmund. They won seven of their first eight home matches against clubs, losing one, but that Dortmund success is the sole victory in the subsequent six (D2 L3). Dortmund • Second in the Bundesliga behind Bayern München for the second season running in 2019/20, this is Dortmund's 15th UEFA Champions League campaign; they were winners in 1997, and runners-up in 2013. BVB have reached the round of 16 in six of their last seven participations. • Lucien Favre's side finished second behind Barcelona in their section last season, picking up ten points – seven of them at home – to finish ahead of Internazionale and Slavia Praha. • Dortmund were 2-1 winners at home to Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 first leg, but bowed out after going down 2-0 in the return in France. • BVB have won five of their last nine European matches (L4), all four defeats coming away from home. • Erling Braut Haaland, who got the second goal against Zenit on Matchday 2, has scored in seven of his eight group stage appearances, ten goals in all. • Dortmund have managed only three victories in their last 17 European away matches (D4 L10), although all of those wins have come in their last nine matches (L6) – and all in the UEFA Champions League group stage. • Dortmund have won their last three games in Belgium, having been beaten in each of their first three matches in the country. They have kept a clean sheet in each of those victories; in contrast, those three defeats featured one goal scored and eight conceded. Links and trivia
