One of the key fixtures of Matchday 3 in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League group stage takes place this Wednesday at the Allianz Arena in Munich, where Bayern Munich host Belgian side Club Brugge. A high-scoring game is on the cards, with strong odds supporting that outcome.
Match Preview
Bayern Munich have started their Champions League campaign with authority, securing dominant wins against Chelsea and Pafos and scoring eight goals across those matches. While their attacking prowess is among the best in the competition, defensive lapses have crept in—they’ve now conceded in four consecutive Champions League games.
At home, Bayern are nearly unbeatable, winning six of their last eight European fixtures and rarely allowing opponents to score more than once. Despite some defensive absences, their offensive firepower remains elite and continues to fuel confident performances.
Club Brugge, meanwhile, suffered a defeat to Atalanta in their previous group match but have maintained a solid scoring streak, finding the net in six straight Champions League games. The Belgian side remains competitive, particularly in attack, and has delivered several high-scoring displays this season, including on the road.
