Club Brugge has made a surprisingly strong start to the Champions League season, beating Bayer Leverkusen and Porto in Group B with shutouts in both matches. They conceded twice in the last 6 minutes to lose 2-0 at Leverkusen on matchday 2 and another slow-burning contest could be in the cards between defenses which both had shutouts in their weekend league fixtures. One of the exceptions was a 9-0 EPL rout of Bournemouth and another entertaining home win can be expected at Anfield. Liverpool’s defense has struggled in the early part of the season and its frailty was exposed again this past weekend when EPL visitors Brighton claimed a 3-3 tie at Anfield. A slick and speedy attacking unit means Napoli is perfectly set up for road games, winning 9 of its last 11 away matchups in all competitions. Inter’s defense is a major concern after allowing 11 goals in recent Serie A defeats to Lazio, AC Milan, Udinese and Roma.
