With four games played, it would be fair to say no one expected Group B to be looking like this. Club Brugge have safely secured passage to the last 16 of the Champions League and now have their eyes set on finishing first for what would hopefully be a more favourable tie. The Belgian side need just a point against Porto to secure that, sitting four points clear of the Portuguese side in second place.
Club Brugge have been formidable in the Champions League this season, the only team yet to concede after four matches, winning three and drawing one so far. They opened the campaign with a 1-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen but really stamped their authority by beating Porto 4-0 at the Estadio do Dragao thanks to a fine second-half performance. In the double-header against Atletico Madrid, Club Brugge secured a 2-0 win at home and then a goalless draw was enough to seal qualification to the knockout stages.
Porto, meanwhile, could secure their spot in the last 16 of the Champions League this week but it is not completely in their hands. The Portuguese champions have to beat Club Brugge and hope Atletico Madrid drop points against Bayer Leverkusen if they are to confirm passage with one game left to spare, though it is likely to go down to the wire.
Sergio Conceicao’s side are currently second in Group B but haven’t made life easy for themselves, opening with two defeats. First, they went to Atletico Madrid and lost 2-1 with all three goals scored in injury-time, before the aforementioned trashing against Club Brugge. But Porto have managed to turn things around thanks to back-to-back wins over Bayer Leverkusen
