Club Brugge have nothing but pride at stake when they welcome FC Copenhagen at Jan Breydelstadion on Wednesday night. Brugge are yet to pick a point in their previous five group stage game and will be hoping to leave the competition with at least 1 point.

Brugge have failed to win a single game so far in the competition, they have lost their previous five games. They are resigned to the 4th spot with 0 points and are 6 points behind their visitors. They have no hope of Europa League and will be leaving the competition in shame with no point if they fail to draw or win this game.

Meanwhile, Copenhagen needs nothing but a win in this game to progress into the round of 16. According to statistics and UEFA rule, their Head to Head Advantage against Porto will qualify them if they win and Porto lose or draw. However a defeat or draw in this game will consign them to the Europa League as they will finish 3rd.
