Preview: Brugge vs Juventus | OneFootball

The first UEFA Champions League clash of the year sees Juventus travel to Belgium to take on Club Brugge in Matchday 7 of the League Phase of this season's competition.

Prepare for Tuesday's 21:00 CET kick-off with our pre-match preview below:

HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORD | All four previous meetings between Club Brugge and Juventus have taken place in the Champions Cup/UEFA Champions League, with the Bianconeri winning three of the four clashes (1L). Juve won both the home and away legs the last time they met (2-1 away and 1-0 home in 2005-06).

ITALIAN SUPERIORITY | Club Brugge have won only two of their last 20 matches against Italian opposition (6D, 12L), going winless in each of the last 14 match-ups.

CLOSING THE BACK DOOR | The Bianconeri have kept a clean sheet in each of their last two UEFA Champions League matches, more than they had in their previous 15 (one). The last time they kept at least three clean sheets in a row in the competition was between September and October 2021 (three in that case).

TURKISH TALENT | Kenan Yildiz, 19, is the first Juventus player to both score and assist in the UEFA Champions League as a teenager. With his 22 dribbles, the Turk is third among teenagers in the competition this season in the number of dribbles attempted, behind Lamine Yamal (34) and Antonio Nusa (25).

IN GOOD COMPANY | Dusan Vlahovic has been involved in eight goals in 12 UEFA Champions League appearances with Juventus (six goals and two assists). Only two players have achieved more than 10 goals/assists combined in 13 or fewer matches with the Bianconeri: David Trezeguet in 2001 (11) and Zinedine Zidane in 1997 (12).
