Club Brugge is not far from the target of ten points, which almost certainly means qualification for the next round. Blauw-Zwart will still need a win, but also has two home games to play.
Club Brugge might have signed for a draw at Celtic Park before the match. But given the way the match went, with that huge gift from the Scots in the first half, Nicky Hayen’s men will certainly wonder why they didn’t get the three points.
The draw gave Blauw-Zwart their seventh point of the European campaign, putting them in 22nd place. Club still have to host Zeno Debast’s Sporting CP and Juventus before heading to Manchester City on the final matchday.
With two home games of the three remaining games to play, Brugge are in good shape and only need one more win to reach the ten points expected to be enough for qualification.
Club Brugge still needs a win
Therefore, according to the calculations of various databases, Club Brugge would now have a 57% chance of finishing in the top 24 and making it to the play-offs.
In these play-offs, the club from the Venice of the North could encounter top European teams such as… Real Madrid, but also Atlético, Paris Saint-Germain (currently… 25th in the probability calculations), Manchester City, Benfica, Feyenoord or Stuttgart. It is remarkable that, according to the calculations, Bruges would still have… a 1% chance of finishing in the top 8. However, it would take an unlikely 9/9 to achieve that.
