Is Club Brugge already certain of the 1/8th finals? That is a complicated calculation with many possible scenarios, but we can say with certainty that one point is enough for the next round.

Third place and a corresponding ticket for the Europa League have already been won. If Club takes a point during one of the remaining three group matches, that opponent can never pass blue-black again. Because with the three current victories, Club always has the advantage with an equal number of points. And because of those two other opponents, only one person can get nine out of nine (and overtake Club), Club ends up in the top-2 anyway.
