Atletico Madrid vs Club Brugge Preview
Club Brugge are currently in third place in the Belgian Pro League and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The away side suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Westerlo over the weekend and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the La Liga table at the moment and have been inconsistent this year. Los Colchoneros edged Girona to a narrow 2-1 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
