AC Milan is still chasing its first win of the Champions League season when it hosts Belgium giant Club Brugge on Tuesday. Watch the game live and for free on Fubo today.
The only previous meetings between AC Milan and Club Brugge have ended with the away team emerging triumphant, which paints a poor picture for a Rossoneri team in need of Champions League salvation. Paulo Fonseca’s side have lost both of their European fixtures to date this season and are eyeing a potential early exit from continental competition unless things change quickly. ‘The Club’ also lost its Champions League opener at home to Borussia Dortmund but has since got points on the board after beating Sturm Graz in Austria earlier this month and will be targeting another famous upset at the San Siro on Tuesday.

It was almost exactly 14 years ago on October 21, 2003, that Club Brugge first got the better of Milan in its maiden voyage to the San Siro.
Peru’s Andres Mendoza came up with the only goal on that occasion, though Rossoneri great Kaka returned the favor with an 86th-minute decider in Belgium in the return leg.
There will be no reverse fixture on this occasion, however, meaning the spoils will make their impact on the Champions League standings with no imminent chance at redemption for the loser.
Milan is coming off the back of a dramatic 1-0 win at home to Udinese on Saturday when Samuel Chukwueze’s early finish was all that separated the two teams:
Fonseca’s side managed to hold out for the win despite playing the last hour of that clash with only 10 men thanks to Tijani Reijnders’ dismissal on the half-hour mark.
The Dutchman will be back available for selection in midweek, though the same can’t be said for injured Milan trio Ismael Bennacer, Alessandro Florenzi and Davide Calabria.
Brugge boss Nicky Hayen will be missing at least one key face with Andreas Skov Olsen out of commission, while Gustaf Nilsson and Casper Nielsen will each face late fitness tests.
Regional restrictions may apply.
