Club Brugge in the league phase: the table after matchday 4

After matchday 4 Club Brugge has three wins and one defeat, with eleven goals scored and seven conceded. The goal difference is +4. That puts the club 9th. Nine clubs are on 9 points, from 4th to 12th place: Como, Barcelona, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool, Club Brugge, Sporting CP, Real Betis and Borussia Dortmund. Liverpool, Club Brugge and Sporting CP all have a goal difference of +4. Liverpool scored more goals and are 8th, Sporting CP scored fewer and are 10th. The table is based on the UEFA standings of 10 November 2026.

The table has 36 clubs and every club plays eight matches. The top 8 go straight to the round of 16. Places 9 to 24 play a play-off in February. The clubs in places 25 to 36 are eliminated. After matchday 4, 8th place has 9 points, the same as Club Brugge. 24th place has 4 points. No club is yet sure of a place or already out, because four matches remain.

Club Brugge's first four matchdays

Club Brugge started the season on Tuesday 8 September at home to Aston Villa and lost 2-3. On matchday 2, on 13 October, the club played away at Inter and won 4-3. On matchday 3, on Wednesday 21 October, Club Brugge beat Lens 3-0 at home in the Jan Breydel Stadium. On matchday 4, on Wednesday 4 November, the club won 2-1 away at PSV in Eindhoven. Together that adds up to eleven goals scored and seven conceded, and 9 points from four matches.

For the table in the league phase, points are not the only thing that counts. When clubs are level on points, UEFA decides the order on goal difference, then goals scored, away goals scored, wins and away wins. After that come criteria linked to the results of the opponents.

An example shows why every goal counts. Liverpool, Club Brugge and Sporting CP all have 9 points and a goal difference of +4. Liverpool scored 14 times, Club Brugge 11 times and Sporting CP 8 times. That is why Liverpool are 8th, inside the top 8, and Club Brugge 9th, just outside.

Club Brugge won two of its four matches away from home, in Milan and in Eindhoven. The club scores a lot of goals and also concedes regularly. Whether that pattern continues cannot be said. Only the actual results so far are listed here.

Club Brugge v Liverpool on Wednesday 25 November

Matchday 5 is played on Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 November 2026. Club Brugge plays Liverpool at home in the Jan Breydel Stadium on Wednesday 25 November at 21:00. After matchday 4 Liverpool have 9 points from four matches, with a goal difference of +4, and are 8th. So it is a meeting of two clubs next to each other in the table.

For Club Brugge the result has a direct effect on the table. A win takes the club to 12 points, level with Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, who top the table after matchday 4. A draw gives 10 points and a defeat leaves the club on 9 points. Goal difference then becomes important, because several clubs are on the same points. These are calculations based on the table after matchday 4, not a prediction of the result.

Club Brugge's matches are broadcast on VTM 2 and via VTM GO. You can read more about the broadcasters on the page where to watch the Champions League. An overview of all matches of the matchday is on the page with the matchday preview.

Club Brugge's fixtures after matchday 4

After the match in Eindhoven four matches remain. On Wednesday 25 November Club Brugge plays Liverpool at home, on matchday 5. On Tuesday 8 December the away match at Napoli follows, on matchday 6. In the new year Club Brugge plays away at Stuttgart on 19 January and at home to Bodø/Glimt on 27 January, on matchdays 7 and 8. Two of those four matches are at home (Liverpool and Bodø/Glimt) and two away (Napoli and Stuttgart). In total Club Brugge plays four matches at home and four away in the league phase.

Of the four remaining opponents, one is above Club Brugge after matchday 4: Liverpool in 8th place with 9 points. Three are below: Stuttgart in 14th place with 7 points, Bodø/Glimt in 25th place with 4 points and Napoli in 27th place with 3 points. Those positions change after every matchday and so only say something about the situation right now, and nothing about how the matches will go.

On the last matchday of the league phase all matches are played at the same time, so the final table is fixed once they end. Kick-off times of the later matchdays are set by UEFA and can still change.

What does Club Brugge need for the top 8 or the play-offs?

The aim of many clubs in the league phase is a place in the top 8, because that gives a direct place in the round of 16. The clubs in places 9 to 24 play a play-off over two legs, home and away. That takes place on 16 and 17 February and 23 and 24 February 2027. Clubs that qualify through the top 8 skip that round.

There is no fixed number of points that guarantees a place in the top 8. What is needed depends on the results of the other clubs, and only after the last matchday is the cut-off known. After matchday 4 the top-8 cut-off is 9 points and the play-off cut-off 4 points.

Club Brugge has 9 points, the same as 8th place, but with fewer goals scored. Four matches remain, so a maximum of 12 points can still be won, which means the club can finish on 21 points at best. 25th place, which means elimination, currently has 4 points. The gaps are small, so every matchday can change the order a lot.
