Match announcement
Club Brugge
Current form
Last season, Brugge had a very strong finish, thanks to which they snatched the championship title from the hands of Union. In the new season, Nicky Heyen's team is probably also setting the highest goals for itself, but they started with a 1:2 defeat to Union in the Belgian Super Cup. This defeat seriously affected the mood of the team, and they failed to prepare for the start of the season in the best possible way.
In the first three rounds of the championship, Brugge" target="_blank">https://www.clubbrugge.be/">Brugge scored only one point, while it is worth noting that the schedule was not the easiest, but for the champion, two defeats in three matches is a lot. However, they managed to improve during the championship and gradually the "black and blues" are coming to their senses - after the victory over Antwerp (1:0) in the fourth round, the team felt confident in their strength.
Having crushed Kortrijk 3-0 in the last match of the championship, Brugge won their fourth victory in a row. Thanks to these 12 points, they managed to reach the first line in the table, but not all competitors played seven matches and the density in the upper half is very high - Genk, Charleroi and Anderlecht are breathing down their necks. Hans Vanaken has played a key role in the team's play for several years in a row - the captain has already scored two goals and has no equal in the center of the field.

2.55Tip and bets
Brugge have recently gained great form, the problems of the start of the season are behind them, the “black and blues” look very solid in attack, having scored 11 goals in the last five matches. It is obvious that Brugge will try to cling to points at home and will probably play aggressively in attack again. Borussia will hardly be able to play to zero against such an opponent away, but at the same time the “bumblebees” have their own plans for points and an advantage in class - an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.65
Bet on the outcome
Brugge has improved during the season and looked very solid in the last matches, but today the "black and blues" will have to meet a very strong opponent. Borussia as a whole looks quite decent at the start and has a noticeable advantage in terms of player selection, in the last two matches the "bumblebees" did not experience any problems against Brugge, there is a possibility that the series will continue.
Bet - Borussia win. This bet is offered with odds of 2.05
Combined rate
It is not without reason that Borussia is the favorite of the match – the Bumblebees are in good shape, have a significant advantage in experience and class. The Germans will come for three points, there is no doubt about it, mistakes in matches against such opponents can leave them out of the playoffs – the Bumblebees are quite capable of winning, but Brugge will clearly put up a fight at home, there is hardly a real chance of beating the Belgian champions without scoring.
The bet is Borussia win and both teams will score. This bet is offered for 3.65
