There are nine more Champions League games on Wednesday to wrap up Matchday 4.
The pregame narrative: Barcelona takes its talents on the road to battle Club Brugge in a game that should feature plenty of scoring. Elsewhere, look for Inter Milan to pick up an early lead against Kazakhstani side Kairat Almaty.

Champions League predictions Matchday 4
Best bet: Inter Milan over 1.5 first-half goals (-125)
This is a true David vs. Goliath matchup.
Inter Milan reached the Champions League final last year and is a perfect 3-0-0 with a +9 goal differential and zero goals conceded.
Kairat Almaty is playing in the Champions League for the first time in its history. It is 0-1-2 with a -8 goal differential through three games.
The Kazakhstani club has lost 4-1 to Sporting CP and 5-0 to Real Madrid before logging a 0-0 tie against Greek side Pafos, which was down to 10 men in the fourth minute.
Neither Sporting nor Real Madrid cleared this line, with seven of the nine goals coming in the second half. But Kairat still gave up a bunch of chances and should struggle on the road against Inter Milan’s offence.
The Nerazzuri lead Serie A in goals per match (2.4), possession (60.8%), xG (19.1), big chances (44), and big chances missed (28), per FotMob.
Key stat: Inter Milan is 3-0 against this line in the UCL this season.

Best bet: Club Brugge vs. Barcelona
Club Brugge vs. Barcelona over 3.5 goals (-127): Barcelona’s offence is nearing full health after an injury-plagued start to the season.
Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal are back in the mix, with Raphinha potentially returning this weekend.
It would be nice if the Brazilian attacker was suiting up on Wednesday, but I can still see Barcelona doing enough damage in his absence to push this game over the 3.5-goal total.
- Each of Barcelona’s last nine games has had 3+ total goals scored. In that span, the over on this number is 4-5.
- Barcelona has conceded in eight straight contests, giving up seven goals in its last three road games.
Club Brugge sits second in the Belgian Pro League with a 9-2-2 record, tallying the third-most goals (21).
But the squad has struggled against elite competition, giving up four goals to Bayern Munich in Matchday 3 and two goals to Atalanta in Matchday 2.
