Club Brugge KV vs Monaco

Club Brugge have won four UEFA Champions League games by 3+ goals with two of those instances coming against Monaco (also a 4-0 away win in November 2018).

Monaco have failed to win any of their last five games against Belgian sides in major European competition (D2 L3) since a 1-0 win at K. Lierse SK in the UEFA Champions League back in November 1997.

Club Brugge became the first side to save a penalty in the first half of a UEFA Champions League match then go in at half-time three goals ahead since Internazionale vs Arsenal in September 2003.

Club Brugge have played Monaco four times before in major European competition, suffering a 6-2 aggregate defeat at the Round of 16 stage of the 1988-89 European Cup before going unbeaten against them during the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League group stage (W1 D1).  

Monaco have won just one of their four away games across major European competition against Belgian sides (D2 L1), a 1-0 victory over K. Lierse SK during the 1997-98 UEFA Champions League group stage.

Club Brugge have won just one of their eight UEFA Champions League games against sides from France (D2 L5), a 4-0 victory over Monaco in November 2018.

Monaco have won just one of their last 12 away UEFA Champions League games (D5 L6), a 1-0 success over Bologna in last season’s league phase.

Club Brugge made the fewest changes to their starting XI in the UEFA Champions League last season, making just 10 changes across their 12 matches. Six players started every game for them in the competition last term: Brandon Mechele, Simon Mignolet, Joel Ordóñez, Maxim De Cuyper, Hans Vanaken and Christos Tzolis.
