Liverpool on top, and Bradley Barcola getting plenty of shots away.
Liverpool are favourites on our numbers: 56% to win, against 24% for Club Brugge and 20% for a draw. Our predicted score is Club Brugge 1–2 Liverpool (8%), though no one exact score is likely on its own. Our expected goals are 1.6 for Club Brugge and 2.4 for Liverpool, 4.0 in all. Both sides are more likely than not to score (72%) and three or more goals is 76%.
On form, Club Brugge have five wins, one draw and no defeats from their last six games, and Liverpool have three wins, one draw and two defeats. We expect Club Brugge to have 14.2 shots (5.5 on target) and Liverpool 18.9 (4.4 on target), and corners at 4.5 to 6.1. That points to Liverpool doing more of the attacking.
Bradley Barcola (Liverpool) is the player we expect to shoot most, with 2.9 shots if they start. Nicolò Tresoldi (Club Brugge) leads for shots on target, at 1.2. Joseph Gomez of Liverpool is the most booked player in either squad, once every 2 games in 2025/26. Bawler's pick for this game is Liverpool or Draw, Liverpool Over 14.5 Shots and Bradley Barcola 2+ Shots. Our model gives all three landing together a 48% chance, which makes the fair price 11/10 (2.09).
