Barcelona are expected to comfortably see off Club Brugge on matchday four in the Champions League to stay firmly in contention for a top-eight spot and automatic qualification for the last 16.

Hansi Flick's side began with a 2-1 win at Newcastle before going down by the same scoreline to defending European champions Paris Saint-Germain.

However, they responded to hammer Olympiacos 6-1 last time and they should move onto nine points with victory at the Jan Breydelstadion in midweek.

Team news

Club Brugge are set be without injured quartet Bjorn Meijer, Simon Mignolet, Ludovit Reis and Raphael Onyedika for the visit of Barca.

Due to Mignolet's ongoing absence, back-up goalkeeper Nordin Jackers is set to start again.

Barca received a double boost with Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo both returning from injury as subs against Elche on Sunday and Flick could opt to start one or both on Wednesday.

Joan Garcia and Andreas Christensen are back in training but are unlikely to be involved, while the Catalan giants are still without the injured Gavi, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Raphinha and Pedri.

The stats

Both teams have scored in all three of Barcelona's Champions League matches this season.

Barca have kept only three clean sheets across their 14 games in all competitions this term.

Club Brugge beat Monaco 4-1 on matchday one but have since lost 2-1 to Atalanta and 4-0 to Bayern Munich.

The Belgian side have won five of their last six games in all competitions.

On-loan Marcus Rashford has scored four goals for Barca in the Champions League this season.

Prediction

Barca should underline their Champions League credentials with a comfortable win in Bruges as they aim to follow up the 6-1 hammering of Olympiacos on matchday three.

Flick has an array of attacking riches at his disposal with Rashford in fine form, while Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal and the fit-again Lewandowski and Olmo bolster his options further.

Club Brugge were outclassed by Bayern Munich last time, losing 4-0 in Germany, and they are set to be in for another tough evening against Barca, although Nicky Hayen's side will hope to at least get on the scoresheet at home.

Barca have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last eight games so that should give Brugge hope of finding the back of the net, although their chances of getting anything more out of the game look remote.

Back Barcelona to win and both teams to score at 6/5 with LiveScore Bet.
