Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One: Club Brugge to win- 3.28
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two: Both Teams To Score- YES- 1.68
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three: Over 2.5 Goals – 1.84
Club Brugge will only be needing 1 point to seal the move to the next round of the UEFA Champions League. Brugge are unarguably the only side yet to concede a goal in this competition. Brugge who thrashed Porto 4-0 earlier in their campaign, will be looking for a repeat with a home advantage.
Despite FC Porto failing to register any goals against Club Brugge in their last encounter, Porto have improved with two successes over Bayer Leverkusen (5-0) thus, reviving their hopes of progression. No doubt, Porto will be aiming for some revenge and will need every reason to get on the score sheet.. Best bet is both teams to score.
With both teams aiming to secure a pass to the next round of the UCL, what we can expect from them are nothing but goals. 6 goals at the end of the day, maybe..
With FC Porto failing to register a single goal at the derby against Benfica in the Primeira Liga summit and Club Brugge failing to secure any goals in the last UCL encounter against Atletico Madrid, it would be no surprise if both teams fail to register any goals or at most, not more than 1 goal. This option has odds of 9.3 on 22bet.
Club Brugge are currently in 3rd place on the Belgian Pro League Table, after a 2-2 with Union Saint-Gilloise over the weekend with 29 points and 8 points far off the League leaders.
This week’s UCL fixtures would see them through to the next round of the tournament if they could get as much as get a draw against FC Porto.
FC Porto failed to secure a win over the weekend, in order to close the gap between them and league toppers, Benfica, who are 6 points clear off Porto on the table with 28 points in total.
Porto are however optimistic about a return leg to Brugge this week.
