Club Brugge is having a decent season. Philippe Clement’s team took part in the group stage of the Champions League, where they were close to qualifying from the group. However, in the decisive match with Lazio, the Black-Blues were unable to achieve victory. A 2:2 draw in Rome sent them to third place and guaranteed participation in the Europa League playoffs. Rivals of the Belgian champion were Dynamo Kyiv, which had problems in the first match. Having lost several main players and a head coach due to the coronavirus, the Black-Blues conceded first, but in the end they were able to recoup. The 1:1 draw in Kyiv leaves the Belgians with excellent chances to pass. In the national championship Club Brugge looks very powerful and will most likely be able to defend the title in the end. Having beaten Heverly Louvain in the last round with a score of 3:0, Clement’s men increased the lead over the second Antvprpen to 15 points. Simon Mignolet and Charles de Quetelare, who also passed positive tests for coronavirus, were added to players who went to self-isolation even before flying to Kyiv.
In the last round of the Portuguese championship, Benfica failed again. On the road, the Eagles drew with Farense. Now the team of guests is in 4th place in the standings with 39 points in the asset. True, the Eagles’ attack is clearly not the strongest link, because they managed to score only 33 goals in 20 matches. It is worth noting that the Lisbon players rarely concede, as evidenced by 17 goals in 20 matches, which is an excellent indicator by the standards of the national championship. However, fans are worried about a 3-match streak without wins, which tells us about the club’s obvious problems in attack and decline.
