Club Brugge will welcome Porto to the Jan Breydel Stadium on matchday five of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
The hosts have enjoyed an unbeaten run in the group stage thus far and have three wins in four games. They are at the top of the Group B standings with 10 points to their name and will need at least a point from the game to cement their place in the knockout stage. They were held to a goalless draw by Atletico Madrid in their previous outing in the competition.
Porto have recorded back-to-back wins in their last two games in the competition after losing the first two, which puts them in second place in the Group B table with six points. They secured a 3-0 away win at Bayer Leverkusen last time around and a win here would guarantee that they won't finish last in the standings.
Both teams failed to pick up wins in their league outings over the weekend, with Club Brugge playing out a 2-2 draw against Union Saint-Gilloise in the Belgian Pro League and Porto suffering a 1-0 defeat against Benfica in the Primeira Liga.

Club Brugge vs Porto Prediction
Blauw-Zwart have enjoyed a solid run in the competition thus far and are yet to concede a goal. They played out a 2-2 draw on Saturday, so they might end up conceding a goal here as well.
Dragões have scored five goals in their last two Champions League games without conceding and will be hopeful of another positive outing here. Taking the form of the two sides into consideration, a low-scoring draw might ensue.
