Things to take into the match
The most extreme league rank per phase, picked automatically
01 · Things to take into the match
The report opens with the most extreme league ranks across the nine phases, one per phase. For Club Brugge all three are strengths to neutralise: 74% of their shots come from inside the box (1st of 18), 0.45 goals a game from set plays (2nd of 18), and only 1.31 xG conceded a game (3rd of 18).
Each card ends with what to do about it: protect the box first, avoid cheap fouls and corners around your box, and value shots from the edge of the box and second balls. That is the start of the game plan, and every card opens the phase behind it.
League table
18 clubs, xG and xGA per game from the league shot benchmarks
02 · What you need to know
Club Brugge top the table after 40 matches: 25 wins, 11 draws and 4 defeats, 86 points, 80 scored and 39 conceded. Their 2.33 xG a game is matched by just 1.31 against, and the last five brought 11 points, including 2-0 and 1-0 wins over Union Saint-Gilloise, second on 82.
Before a phase is opened, the staff know who they are facing: a side that creates at the top of the league and gives little away. The same section carries their form, home and away split and average positions.
Key players
The players that matter this window, one role each
03 · Key players
The individual section names the players that matter, each with a role. C. De Ketelaere is the shooter: 79 shots, 65 from inside the box, 14 goals from 13.1 xG. N. Lang is the creator with 69 shot assists and 12 assists. B. Dost scored 12 from 38 shots, R. Vormer took 116 corners and B. Mechele won 72 of 118 aerial duels.
That is the briefing for your back line and your midfield in one panel: who shoots, who supplies, who delivers the dead ball and who attacks it. It sits next to their expected eleven and the substitutes they use most.
Shots by player
Shots, shots in the box, goals and xG per player, with where the shots come from
04 · Chance creation
Chance creation is their strength: 2.33 xG a game (2nd of 18), 14.8 shots, 0.158 xG per shot, and 74% of shots from inside the box against a league average of 63%. De Ketelaere took 65 of his 79 inside it, Dost 37 of 38. Open play gives 63% of their shots and 45 goals, set plays 21% and 18 goals.
So the question for your defence is not whether to block shots from distance, it is how to stop entries into the box. The report hands you the shooters by name and the phase each goal came from.
Who wins it high
Regains in the opponent half, against all regains
05 · Offensive transition
When they win it back, Club Brugge produce 0.40 xG a game from transitions (5th of 18). The regains start high: H. Vanaken won the ball 128 times in the opponent half, C. De Ketelaere 121.
The report turns that into a rule for your shape: rest defence over numbers in attack, keep three behind the ball and do not send both full-backs. And protect the pass into midfield when those two are near.
Takers and targets
Corners taken, aerials won and goals per player
06 · Attacking set pieces
Set plays bring Club Brugge 0.45 goals a game (2nd of 18) and 0.27 xG in the seven seconds after a corner (2nd of 18, league average 0.19). R. Vormer takes the corners, 116 of them, and C. De Ketelaere won 47 of 89 aerials.
That tells your set-piece coach who to mark and who to stop at the source. The advice is in the report too: avoid cheap fouls and corners around your box.
