Club Brugge vs Lens: Match preview
Club Brugge are in incredible form at the moment and have been producing impressive results. They have won their last five matches. In the domestic league, the team sit second with 21 points from eight rounds. They are just one point behind the league leaders, so the title race is clearly still wide open for Brugge. In the UEFA Champions League, Club Brugge initially suffered a 3–2 defeat to Aston Villa before pulling off a surprise 4–3 away win against Inter.
Lens have made a similar start to their UEFA Champions League campaign, with the same results. They began with a 3–2 victory over Slavia Prague but lost 2–1 to Sporting in their most recent match. That leaves them on the same three points as Club Brugge after two rounds. Things have been more difficult for Lens in the domestic league. After seven rounds, they have collected ten points and currently sit eighth in the table. They are four points behind fourth place and three behind sixth, so the battle for European qualification is still very much ahead of them.
Predicted lineups
- Club Brugge: Sommer; Sabbe, Mechele, Spileers, Seys; Potts, Vetlesen; Forbs, Vanaken, Vergili; Tresoldi
- Lens: Risser; Antonio, Ganiou, Baidoo; Abdulhamid, Cuisance, Haidara, Udol; Thauvin, Kadile; Ivanovic
Prediction
This will be a very challenging match for both teams, and I think we are in for an entertaining spectacle, as both Club Brugge and Lens know how to attack. I recommend betting on over 3 goals at odds of 1.66.
