Man City vs Club Brugge preview betting tips and predictions

He's back

Manchester City talisman Erling Haaland is clearly back in the groove, and he'll be desperate to fire his side into the knockout stages.

The Norwegian, 24, has struck six goals in his last six appearances, including the last three successive games against Chelsea, PSG and Ipswich Town. The striker has scored eight goals in four Champions League appearances against Belgian opponents, averaging a goal every 33 minutes versus such opposition.

First goalscorer and correct score predictions

Man City vs Club Brugge

First goalscorer: Erling Haaland at 9/4 with talkSPORT BET -

Correct score: 3-0 at 13/2 with Betfred -

On target

Defender Josko Gvardiol ranks third in Manchester City's squad for goal attempts in the last six Premier League matches (10) and has the third-highest xG (3.99) this season, scoring five goals in 22 league appearances.

Only Erling Haaland and Phil Foden have more.

Gvardiol is expected to continue contributing offensively, so we're backing him at odds of 6/5 for at least one shot on target via William Hill.
