Sporting vs Brugge prediction, H2H and probable line-ups, November 26, 2025

By Author On Nov 26, 2025

Two sides with attacking firepower meet when Sporting host Club Brugge in this Champions League fixture. Both teams need points and neither side looks like they’ll sit back, so we should be in for a fun one. Sporting have been decent at home this season and Brugge are always dangerous, especially on the counter.

Form Guide

Sporting CP

Sporting have shown strong consistency lately and they’re looking sharp in front of goal. Their recent run in Europe has been solid, and they’re especially hard to beat at home. With Pedro Gonçalves pulling the strings and Viktor Gyökeres in attack, they always look like scoring.

Club Brugge

Brugge have mixed form in Europe this season but they’ve produced some good away performances. With players like Ferran Jutglà and Igor Thiago, they’ve got enough quality to trouble any defence. The big question is whether they can keep things tight defensively.

Head-to-Head

These two teams don’t face each other often, but Sporting usually edge things when they meet Portuguese opposition. Brugge won’t be intimidated though—they’ve taken results in tough stadiums before. Expect a tight game overall.

Team News

Sporting Team News

Sporting will likely line up with Marcus Edwards, Pedro Gonçalves and Gyökeres leading the attack. The midfield should look strong and the defence unchanged unless there’s a late injury update. No major absences expected from the starting core.

Club Brugge Team News

Brugge should go with Ferran Jutglà, Igor Thiago and Antonio Nusa in forward areas. The midfield looks packed with good options and they don’t have many big injury issues. The only concern is their defensive stability.
