Munich, Germany — Bayern Munich will host Club Brugge on Wednesday, October 22, as part of their UEFA Champions League campaign. The match kicks off at 9:00 PM local time (3:00 PM ET) at Allianz Arena.

Harry Kane, who has been a vital scoring asset, is expected to lead the attack alongside Luis Diaz and Nicolas Jackson.

Club Brugge will rely on goalkeeper Nordin Jackers and captain Hans Vanaken among their squad, using a 4-2-3-1 formation that has served them well domestically.
