Waasland – Club Brugge

First round in Belgian Jupiler football league and Waasland Beveren hosts Club Brugge. Visitors are the favorites according to the odds. Actually odds on Brugge are dropping big at the moment.

Waasland Beveren finished 14th last season in regular season and escaped relegation by a small margin. For this year they made no big investments in the team and the bookmakers’ outright odds are placing them among the worst 4-5 teams in the league. For sure expectations are that they will struggle again. Waasland will try to keep up the decent home court play, they are not easy to beat at home (4 wins, 7 draws, 4 losses last year) but on the other hand they have problems when playing top teams. Team news say that for this game Waasland Beveren will miss a couple of players so their depth will be tested.

Club Brugge looked able to win the title last season … was 2nd in the regular season, 3rd after playoffs. Team has improved year after year in last seasons and there are big ambitions at the club. Title will again be an objective this season and the team has an important chance to get it. They made a couple of very good transfers and look stronger, also played very well football in friendly games. They have a very good attack also. Team news for Club Brugge say that they will miss a couple of players but mostly fringe ones, nothing to disrupt the team.

Brugge is a better team and looks stronger than last year while Waasland Beveren did not improve the squad. There are 3 things that encourage me that an upset won’t happen. 1: Brugge has 11 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the ll time H2H against Waasland Beveren. 2: Last two seasons Club Brugge won 2-1 and 6-2 in the away game at Beveren. 3: Brugge is known to start the leage strong and always won the first match in the last years. I expect Club Brugge to capitalize on the quality difference, their good football form in friendlies and the tradition between the two clubs. My tip is Club Brugge to win, maybe it will be close but I trust Brugge to find a way in the end. Better odds at Sbobet for the -0,5 handicap which is same with simple win. Correct score prediction: Waasland Beveren – Club Brugge 1-2.
