Borussia Dortmund have won none of their last three home European matches (including qualifiers) against Belgian opponents (D2 L1) since a 2-1 win over Club Brugge in August 2003 in a UEFA Champions League qualifier.
Club Brugge are looking to win consecutive away matches in the European Cup/Champions League for the first time, having won 2-1 at Zenit on MD1.
Borussia Dortmund have won their last four home UEFA Champions League matches, their best run since a seven-game stretch between September 2012 and October 2013.
Club Brugge have won just two of their last 23 UEFA Champions League matches (D8 L13), though both wins have come away from home in that run.
Lucien Favre will become the second manager to take charge of 20 UEFA Champions League matches with Borussia Dortmund, after Jürgen Klopp (37). Favre’s win ratio of 53% (P19 W10 D2 L7) is the third-best for Dortmund in the competition, behind Nevio Scala (60%) and Ottmar Hitzfeld (58%).

Erling Haaland was the joint-fastest player to score five UEFA Champions goals (three games, level with Didier Drogba), the fastest to score 10 goals (seven games) and will be the quickest to 15 goals if he scores in this game – his 12th appearance – with the record held by Ruud van Nistelrooy and Roberto Soldado (19 games).
Club Brugge goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has kept just one clean sheet in his first 14 UEFA Champions League starts – should he concede in this match, he will equal the record for fewest clean sheets in a goalkeeper’s first 15 starts in the competition, held by former Basel and Olympiakos goalkeeper Franco Costanzo (one between 2008 and 2011).
