Club Brugge Preview & Team News

Club Brugge heads into this fixture after a 1-1 First Division A drawn game against Union Saint-Gilloise. They have been in a results crisis, winning only once in all competitions since November 2022. The Belgian club was brilliant in the Champions League groups under Parker’s predecessor, keeping five cleans sheets out of their six contests. Club Brugge can also take solace in knowing they have already put Portuguese opposition to the sword, thrashing Porto 4-0 just before the World Cup pause. It has been seldom in recent times that Club Brugge has shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Club Brugge has seen their defense breached in 5 of their previous six matches, shipping six goals during that time. They need to do much better in the back to secure a positive result in this encounter.

Benfica Preview & Team News

Benfica comes into this clash after a 3-0 Primeira Liga win as they beat Casa Pia in their previous outing. They remain comfortable at the Primeira Liga top spot, being five points ahead of Porto. However, the Eagles went down to a penalty shootout defeat against Braga in Taca de Portugal. Over the course of their previous six clashes, Benfica has bagged a total of 14 goals. Benfica has also managed to score in every single one of those games. Over that period, they’ve had two goals go into their own net. Thanks to a fully healthy squad available to select from, the Benfica manager Roger Schmidt does not have any fitness concerns to report ahead of this game.

The home side cannot be happy with its recent displays, and we believe the visitors can take advantage of that. Therefore, Benfica should return home with a win from the first-leg clash.

Goals Market Prediction

In eight of Club Brugge’s last nine games, the BTTS Yes bet was a success. We don’t think it will be much different this time, and neither team should keep a clean sheet in this encounter.
