The final score was 4-0 thanks to goals from Andreas Skov Olsen, Ferrán Jutglà, Kamal Sowah, and Antonio Musa.
In their home tournament, Brugge are currently in third place with 7 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses.

Atlético de Madrid Preview
Atlético de Madrid is always one of the favorites to advance in the Champions League. However, in this edition it has not yet convinced its followers. Cholo Simeone’s team is in third place in Group B with one win and one loss. In their most recent encounter against Leverkusen, the “colchonero” lost 2-0 in a match where they had more possession but less precision in shots.
For this Brugge vs Atlético de Madrid, the Spanish team is expected to adjust its offensive lines and reinforce its effectiveness with players such as Álvaro Morata and João Félix. They will find themselves up against a great defensive wall on the part of the home team. If they do not win this game, the capital will have an even tighter chance of reaching the round of 16.
Possible Atlético de Madrid lineup: Ivo Grbic; Nahuel Molina, Stefan Savic, Mario Hermoso, Reinildo Mandava, Marcos Llorente, Rodrigo De Paul, Saul Niguez, Alvaro Morata, Joao Felix.
JefeBet Prediction
For this match between Brugge vs Atlético de Madrid, we are leaning towards a draw. This is due to the need of Simeone’s team to start scoring more points and the good performances of Brugge in the Champions League. Both clubs have shown that they have what it takes to advance, both in terms of players and technique, so it will surely be a very even duel.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
