Club Brugge KV vs LASK Linz Prediction & Betting tips
Wednesday 28 August has been circled in red for some time in the agendas of the Club Brugge supporters. On that day, after all, the all-decisive return in the play-offs of the Champions League against the Austrian LASK Linz at the Jan Breydel Stadium is on the program. The Flemings won the first game last week with 0-1, so they can almost hear the Champions League hymn.
Club Brugge:
Club Brugge provided itself with an excellent starting position last week by winning 0-1 in the first game at LASK Linz. Star player Hans Vanaken made the only goal of the game from the penalty spot early on, although the Flemish still had a hard time with the Austrians in the first half. After the tea Club Brugge took the initiative again, but a second goal was no longer in the barrel.
Club Brugge is therefore in an excellent position, although coach Philippe Clement knows that Blauw-Zwart still has a tough game ahead: ‘In fact, we should have won 0-2 in Austria, although winning on location is always a good result in Europe. We will now have to go full throttle at home and try to score a goal, we should definitely not play naively now. We count on our fans to win over us. ” One thing is certain: the Jan Breydel will swirl on Wednesday evening. The atmospheric groups will also work together to shout Club Brugge to the Champions League like a true twelfth man. For the players it is important to keep a cool head. Just like all other clubs with European obligations, Club Brugge got a break last weekend to fully focus on this return. Clement has hardly any personnel problems, although defender Brandon Mechele is still struggling with a knee injury. Club Brugge is doing everything it can to get it ready in time, but there is a good chance that the strongman will also have to let the return pass him by.
LASK Linz:
LASK Linz stands for a very tough task. The Austrians have to score once in any case on Wednesday evening, and realistically, even an away goal is probably not enough. last week the team got several big chances, especially in the first half, but because the Austrian vanguard did not have its sights on, Club Brugge closing point Simon Mignolet hardly needed to take action.
So LASK Linz will definitely have to do better on Wednesday evening. The Austrians have certainly not given up hope, witness this video from Sky Sport Austria. The confidence of coach Valerien IsmaĆ«l’s team has in any case been restored, after the team last weekend in the top match against Rapid Wien with 1-2 at the longest end. The young striker Marko Raguz signed for both hits on behalf of the visitors, and is therefore a player who should not lose sight of the Club Brugge defense on Wednesday evening. Defender Philipp Wiesinger dropped out injured, but the expectation is that he will simply be kicking off in the return.
