GENT - CLUB BRUGGES STATS

We should attend a good game between two teams currently standing on the podium. Gent is

3^rd after a good history of 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. When playing home, it was really good until the last game, against Mechelen, which they surprisingly lost 2-0. But they managed to react in a brilliant way, winning on the pitch of Standard Liege, 2-1.

Club Brugge are doing extremely well, they are still unbeaten, having won 6 times and drawing twice. They are 1^st of the Jupiler League with already 4 points more than the 2^nd.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Bernd Thijs is still injured for Gent and is expected to be back in a couple weeks. The same goes for Remi Mareval.

Club Brugge failed to start off well in the Europa League group stage, after a demeaning 4-0 loss against Bordeaux. Club Brugge was battered from the start of the game. Bordeaux grabbed the Club players by the throat and never let go. A game to forget for Georges Leekens’ players. That’s what they did 3 days later by winning the city derby against Cercle Brugge with an astonishing 4-0.

1X2 BET GENT - CLUB BRUGGES PREVIEW

Gent are favorites as the home side with an odd set at 2.27 with Pinnacle. The draw is at 3.7, and a win for Club Brugge can be found at 3.13, both with the same book. The prices seem decent knwing any result can be expected. I would put a small stake on the draw, as the game will probably be very tight.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTIONS

As both teams are close, there isn’t much handicap, and we are offered an interesting draw no bet. Gent 0 is set at 1.75 with BetVictor, and Club Brugge 0 is at 2.24 with Pinnacle. I really like this 2.24 odd for a team who is still undefeated with 6 wins in 8 games. There are full of confidence, so that wouldn’t be a big surprise to see them keeping that run.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTIONS

The over 2.5 goals is big favorite here, as Bet365 has set it at 1.62. The under 2.5 is at 2.38 with StanJames. Gent’s league games had less than 3 goals 5 times, but every time there still was 2 goals, so they were not far from the cut. On the other side, Brugge’s games are full of goals as they went over the cut 6 times. But since we can expect a tight game, and the odd for the Under is so nice, I would give it a try.
