Club Brugge KV vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting tips
Another week of truth is on the program for Borussia Dortmund. Before the top game between FC Bayern and BVB takes place in the Bundesliga next Saturday, important points in the Champions League will be on the agenda during the week. After the two match days that have been played so far, the match between Bruges and Dortmund – this prediction can be risked – is already pointing the way.
Should the yellow-blacks draw the short straw at the Belgian champions and collect three points in the parallel game Lazio Rome against Zenit St. Petersburg, the Favre-Elf would already be before the start of the second leg before the premature end in the premier class.
That the match in the Jan Breydel Stadium will be anything but a sure-fire success, Lazio had to find out last week. The Italians struggled to earn a point in the north-west of Belgium, while the Westphalia at home against Zenit St. Petersburg needed a lot of patience to ultimately keep the three points in Signal-Iduna-Park.
In general, it has been going on throughout the season that Borussia needs at least 45 minutes of starting time before the previously often harmless offensive develops the necessary penetration and scores. Logically, the odds for a tip between Bruges and Dortmund should be kept in mind that more hits will occur after the break.
Bruges:
Club Bruges will not be satisfied at all with the season so far in the domestic Jupiler League. The blue-blacks only won six of their eleven games and have already suffered three defeats. The defending champion is currently only in fourth place, but at the same time benefits from the fact that even the front runner Charleroi has only had two points more on the credit side.
Even at the weekend, the team of coach Philippe Clement could not live up to its own expectations. At home against KV Mechelen there was a disappointing 2: 2 and that although the home side were in the meantime 2-0 lead. Incidentally, it was the third consecutive league game that the West Flanders could not win. The fourth-placed conceded at least one goal in the second half.
In the Champions League, however, things are going very well. Four points after two games were not necessarily to be expected, especially since Bruges could only make one of the last ten games in the premier class victorious. At home the balance is even sadder. The last victory in their own stadium in the most important European club competition dates from 2013. The following eleven home games, however, were not won.
Because the pressure is on Borussia’s shoulders on Wednesday evening and the blue-blacks can calmly tackle the match with the tailwind of the two international results so far, in our opinion there are many indications that the odds for more goals between Bruges and Dortmund host an attractive value after the break.
Dortmund:
As a fan of Borussia Dortmund, you need a lot of patience and good nerves in the current phase. Although the yellow-blacks got off to a strong start with 15 points from six games, BVB is far from exuding the joy and elegance of the offensive game as it did over long periods of the previous season.
Most recently, the Favre-Elf almost regularly left the impression that they wanted to “prepare” an opponent in the first half and then really accelerate the pace after the break.
If this subjective feeling is not enough for you, you should take a look at the statistics. These say that the Westphalia scored more goals in all five Bundesliga victories in the second round. Both in the last three successes in the league and in the 2-0 win against Zenit St. Petersburg last week, it was even 0-0 after 45 minutes, before Haaland and colleagues turned up two gears after changing sides and the matches into theirs Steer direction.
Before the important duel Bruges against Dortmund, a prognosis for “more goals in the 2nd half” is therefore much more interesting than a potential bet on the Bundesliga club, who lost all of the last four guest games in the Champions League and two on Wednesday for the first time since 2018 wants to win consecutive group games in the premier class.
To make matters worse, from Lucien Favre’s point of view, he will probably do without his defense chief Mats Hummels.
The weekend’s double packer had to get out injured shortly before the end and should possibly be spared for the top game on Saturday at home against Bayern. In the chain of three, the Swiss coach has to improvise again, as Can, Schmelzer, Zagadou and Schulz are also no longer available.
