Club Brugge vs Aston Villa: 6/11/2024

In their upcoming Champions League match on Wednesday, Club Brugge will go head-to-head with Aston Villa.

Recent games involving Club Brugge have been high-scoring, averaging 3.33 goals per game over their last six, with Brugge contributing 13 goals to that total.
