Club Brugge will be the final test for Manchester City, and from the odds we can say that the match looks fairly easy for Pep Guardiola side to overcome. With the new signings, Manchester City are starting to look more formidable, and I think Club Brugge will need a lot of luck to secure the points at the Etihad. However, we know how important the 3 points are for both teams, so I still assume that the game will still be troublesome for both teams. Pep Guardiola faces unprecedented pressure during his time at Manchester City, but his ability to handle pressure is unquestionable.

Brugge needs one point to guarantee a place in the top 24, they don't have to win this game. By the way, even if Brugge loses, the probability that they won't make it into the top 24 is extremely low because Stuttgart is playing PSG and there has to be a draw so that all teams have the same number of points and additional indicators come into play. Plus Sporting and Benfica have to win their games. Hopefully these circumstances will allow Brugge to play relaxed and knock City out of the Champions League Roll Eyes

The fact that club Brugge will likely progress to the knockout stages of this competition if they get a result against Manchester City is the major reason why they're expected to give their best in that game. Pep Guardiola's Manchester City will be the host in that game and considering the quality of players in the team, almost everyone will be expecting them to win but their visitors who knows that they'll be eliminated from the competition if they fail to win or draw and are also the underdogs will want to throw everything at Manchester City knowing fully well that they've got little to lose if they end up getting beaten.
Pep Guardiola I don't think have ever found himself is this kind of situation since his managerial career which is why I think he'll be heavily criticized if they fail to win that game.

I believe Manchester City will in their best to win this game though it will be a difficult to game for both side, this is a very tough situation for them they might probably be playing this game under pressure knowing that they only have one option which is to win every other option such as draw or lose will be a total knockout for them.
On a normal circumstances despite the poor performance of Manchester City this season club brugge is not a team to be a treat to Manchester City for this are game that Manchester City manager pep Guardiola and the Manchester City team normally use to win with a goal margin of about 5 to 6 goals and and above but at this situation what is more important for them now is 3 points which I know Manchester City will get and advance to the next level in the UEFA Champions league.
