Club Brugge weren't considered favourites in Group B, but they had a powerful start to their Champions League campaign and were the first to secure qualification for the playoff. The Belgians haven't lost a game and earned 10 points from the first four matches. After a narrow win over Bayer Leverkusen, Carl Hoefkens' men crushed Porto (4:0) and beat Atletico (2:0) at home.

Tip and bets
Club Brugge have already secured their ticket to the playoffs, and the only question is whether they will finish second or first. The home team won't be very motivated; the Belgians are more focused on their domestic league now. Porto looked great in the previous two Champions League games, but are not guaranteed to qualify. We think that the visiting team has an edge here due to higher motivation.
Our prediction – Asian handicap (0) to Porto
Porto are in good form - they won five of the last six games. Today, the Dragons will aim for a victory, and we believe they can overcome the opponents on sheer motivation. We do not expect a wide-margin win though.
Second wager - Porto to win by 1 goal
