The goal is qualification, possibly hand in hand. Club Brugge and Juventus are playing for crucial points in the seventh matchday of the UEFA Champions League. Both seem quite close to the minimum target, which is access to the playoffs for teams ranked ninth to twenty-fourth that offers a ticket to the round of 16.

It’s more difficult to directly enter the top eight, although on paper. Juventus has some hope, especially if they can win their last two matches and rely on favorable results from other matches. One point separates the two teams: the Belgians are at 10 points, while the Bianconeri are one step higher at 11.

Latest on Club Brugge

So far, Club Brugge is having a very positive season, performing strongly both domestically and in Europe. In the Belgian league, Hayen’s team has bounced back after a difficult start. Engaging in an exciting head-to-head with the other leading team, Genk. In the UEFA Champions League, they are on the brink of securing a spot in the playoffs.

In six matches, the Belgians have accumulated ten points, with three wins, one draw, and two losses. One of the losses came against an Serie A team, AC Milan. Which defeated Club Brugge 3-1 at the San Siro on October 22. At home, after an initial 0-3 loss to Borussia Dortmund, the Belgians have made a strong comeback. They defeated Aston Villa (1-0), a Premier League team, and later overcame Sporting (2-1), the team leading the Portuguese league. They need one last win to secure their position, and Hayen and his players want to wrap things up in front of their fans.

Latest on Juventus

Juventus also has one and a half feet in the playoffs and, theoretically, can still hope to qualify directly for the round of 16. Difficult, but not impossible. They would need two wins, which is no small task for a team like Motta’s that has shown clear signs of “drawitis.”

Juve – and particularly its coach – has somewhat disappointed expectations this season. But the team is still competing on multiple fronts. In the UEFA Champions League, specifically, the Bianconeri remain unbeaten away.

They have achieved one victory in Leipzig and two draws at Lille and Aston Villa. With Locatelli and his teammates chasing significant goals in Belgium. Aided by the gradual return of unavailable players, which has expanded Motta’s options.
