Benfica are not the strongest side in the competition, and the draw is largely a favourable one for Brugge. Roger Schmidt’s side, however, go into the tie as favourites. And how the first leg turns out could be a sign of what to expect over the two legs. It promises to be an intriguing contest between two sides on opposite ends of the form spectrum. The Hard Tackle looks at how both sides could line up and what tactics they might employ in the game.

Club Brugge vs SL Benfica: Champions League Match PreviewClub Brugge will welcome SL Benfica to the Jan Breydel Stadium Stadium for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash on Wednesday. An out-of-sorts Club Brugge will welcome Portuguese giants Benfica for the first time ever to the RJan Breydel Stadium in their round of 16 first-leg tie in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. Scott Parker’s side are going through a poor run of form, failing to win their previous seven games across all competitions. This has seen them fall to a fourth spot in the Belgian Pro League. And they are in need of a massive statement to get their campaign back on track.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Vlachodimos; Bah, Silva, Otamendi, Grimaldo; Florentino, Chiquinho; Mario, Neres, Aursnes; Guedes Key Stats Club Brugge and SL Benfica have never faced off against each other in European competitions before. This is the second time this season that Brugge will go up against a Portuguese side in the competition. They defeated FC Porto 4-0 away in the group stages before being handed back the favour in a 4-0 hammering at home in the reverse fixture. Benfica will be the sixth different Portuguese side that Brugge will have faced in Europe. They have won just one of their last five clashes against Liga Portugal opponents.
Odysseas Vlachodimos should start in goal behind the rearguard quartet of Alexander Bah, Antonio Silva, Nicolas Otamendi and Alejandro Grimaldo. рџ‘‹ Hi, Belgium! #BRUSLB | #UCL pic. twitter. com/MktbhdlWR6 — SL Benfica (@slbenfica_en) February 14, 2023 Florentino LuГs is likely to form the double pivot with Chiquinho, who has stepped up for the side following Enzo Fernandez’s exit. The duo will provide the base for the trio of Joao Mario, David Neres and Fredrik Aursnes to inflict damage in the attack. Goncalo Guedes is likely to get the nod over Goncalo Ramos for the night. The latter came off the bench against Braga and played until the end of extra time, while the former was taken off in the 90th minute. Guedes is likely to be the fresher of the lot and is also in the better nick of form at the moment.
Brugge are likely to deploy in a 4-3-3 formation with former Champions League winner Simon Mignolet in goal. The former Liverpool man will be the club’s last line of defence behind the back four of Clinton Mata, Jack Hendry, Brandon Mechele and Bjorn Meijer. Skipper Hans Vanaken scored at the weekend and is expected to retain his spot in central midfield alongside Mats Rits and Raphael Onyedika. Casper Nielsen could be brought on as a goalscoring threat if needed. The midfield trio will act as the engine room, aiding the frontline of Tajon Buchanan, Roman Yaremchuk and Noa Lang to thrive further upfield. Probable Lineup (4-4-2):В Mignolet; Mata, Hendry, Mechele, Meijer; Rits, Onyedika, Vanaken; Buchanan, Yaremchuk, Lang SL Benfica Roger Schmidt’s side finished top in a group that also included Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus. The Portuguese giants lost star midfielder Enzo Fernandez in January.
However, making it to the knockouts for the first time was not enough to keep Carl Hoefkens in the job owing to their dismal form in the league. Scott Parker took over in December but is yet to turn the club’s fortunes around. The Englishman has led Brugge to five draws in their first seven league games under his tutelage and will need a miracle to lead them to another successful title defence. A win against Benfica will be a morale booster and could be the moment that turns around their season.

But it appears to have done little to throw them off their game. The loss to Braga in the Cup came as a shock, and the Eagles will be keen to set the record straight against Brugge. Schmidt has no injuries to worry about and can select from his strongest players on the night. Benfica are likely to deploy in a 4-2-3-1 formation that will look to assert dominance in midfield.

Benfica, on the other hand, are top of their league and will be aiming to make it to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the second time in two years. They are smarting over the defeat in the Taca de Portugal loss to Sporting Braga on penalties and will be keen to avoid going two matches in a row without a win for the first time since December 2022. Brugge were the surprise package of the competition this season, securing qualification to the knockout stages for the first time in their history since the competition was rebranded to the Champions League. The fact that they made it past the group stages over Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen deserves special praise.
