Club Brugge vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction, Odds, Best Bets - Champions League
Club Brugge have scored nine goals in three Champions League matches and won 4-3 at Internazionale, and on Wednesday they visit PSV Eindhoven, whose three matches in this competition have produced four goals in total and whose reputation so far rests on keeping games quiet.
The Matchup
Club Brugge sit 11th in the league-phase table on six points, seven places above PSV Eindhoven in 18th, and the two campaigns could hardly look more different. Brugge lost 3-2 at home to Aston Villa, won 4-3 away to Internazionale and beat Lens 3-0 at home, scoring nine goals across the three matches. PSV drew 1-1 at home with Shakhtar Donetsk, lost 1-0 at RB Leipzig and won 1-0 at FC Porto, and their three matches have produced four goals in total, two scored and two conceded.
Nicolo Tresoldi is the reason Brugge's games keep opening up. The forward has four goals in three matches in this competition, scoring against Aston Villa and then a hat trick in the win at Internazionale, and he is expected to lead Brugge's line again in Eindhoven.
Hans Vanaken scored the opener against Lens and runs the midfield behind him. PSV's scoring has come from much deeper. Sergino Dest scored their goal against Shakhtar Donetsk and Guus Til scored the winner at Porto, and no PSV player has scored more than once in this competition. Neither club has named its side yet.
Key Factors
PSV's case is their defending and their ground. Two goals conceded in three matches is a real record, and Brugge have to come to Eindhoven and break down a side that is comfortable defending its own box for long stretches. If PSV score first, Brugge's attacking game has to chase, and that is when PSV's home record in Europe usually tightens around a visiting side.
Brugge's answer is that PSV eventually have to score themselves, and nothing in this campaign says they do it easily. A home side that has scored twice in three matches cannot sit on a level game forever, and every time PSV commit numbers forward, Tresoldi gets the space he has been punishing all autumn. Brugge have also already won the hardest version of this fixture, away to a big name in Milan, while PSV's one win came against a Porto side that has lost every match it has played in this competition.
Brugge are the side in scoring form, and PSV have given nobody a reason to trust their attack in this competition. Tresoldi gives Brugge a finisher PSV cannot match, and a draw in Eindhoven is a good night for the visitors, which the quarter line rewards with half a win. PSV's defending is good enough to keep this close, and that is the honest danger, but close suits Brugge at this number. Take Club Brugge +0.25 at +106.
