Club Brugge KV vs St. Truiden Prediction & Betting tips
The home advantage was not apparent in the results on matchday one of the 2019/20 season in the Belgian Jupiler League. Reigning champion KRC Genk was the only side to win at home on Matchday 1, with the exception of RSC Charleroi. In six games was a tip on the away win the right decision. In all likelihood, picking up the second match day between Bruges and Sint Truiden is the right decision for the second home win this season!
The duel on Friday night can undoubtedly be described as a duel between David and Goliath. The 15-time champion from Bruges is considered extremely home strong and slip-ups are an absolute rarity in the Jan Breydel Stadium. Although the guests from St. Truiden can look back on an excellent season last year and missed only very thin the master play-off. Nevertheless, the guests are considered a clear outsider. The game starts on Friday at 19:30.
Bruges:
Seven wins, a draw and two defeats for Club Brugge in the championship round of last season. Finally, it was a defeat too much, because the 15-time champion missed the successful title defense and had to settle for second place behind KRC Genk. Thus, the term of the Croatian head coach Ivan Leko was also terminated, whose expiring contract was not renewed.
As a successor could be wooed with Philippe Clement of all the master trainer of the KRC Genk. Clement is an old acquaintance in Bruges, he played as an active finally from 1999 to 2009 in the blue-black and was then for a long time as an assistant coach. Now he returns to his heart club and Bruges is to lead to the top again.
Compared to last season Bruges can no longer count on the services of top scorer Wesley this season. The young Brazilian joined Aston Villa for 25 million euros. As a replacement, the 21-year-old Nigerian David Okereke from the second Italian league has been committed. With the recommendation of 22 points scorer (ten goals, twelve assists) he came to Belgium and was able to cheer straight away in his first competitive match. For the league prelude sat the favorite at Waasland-Beveren despite a residue even with 3: 1 through. In addition to Okereke, creative player Hans Vanaken was the outstanding man with a double pack.
The Jan Breydel Stadium is a true fortress – in the past season, 15 of the 20 home games were victorious. Risky is on Friday between Bruges and Sint Truiden the forecast for the home win certainly not, but especially not profitable. To that end, it is important to look around the alternative betting markets.
Sint Truiden:
Only very thinly missed the team from the 40,000-inhabitant city of Sind Truiden the entry into the championship play-offs. The big chance was squandered in the finish of the basic round, the team of head coach Marc Brys collected only five points in the last five games. Two points were finally missing in sixth place!
For the first time since the 2009/10 season Sint Truiden reached a single-place place, a repeat of this success would be a big surprise this year. With the 20-year-old Japanese Takehiro Tomiyasu the shooting star left the club and joined the FC Bologna. The youngster developed in the past season to the defense boss and leaves a big gap. However, Tomiyasu has made an impression, with Sint Truiden signing two other Japanese internationals this summer with goalkeeper Daniel Schmidt and striker Yuma Suzuki. However, the duo has to wait for the debut. Schimdt is still number two behind goalkeeper Steppe, Suzuki is out of action due to a thigh injury.
Preparing for the new season was anything but fun in Truiden. Defeats against Lens, PAOK Saloniki and Lommel did not indicate a strong early form. The turnaround did not succeed in the first home game. The home form last season (only two defeats in 20 home games) did not help and against Royal Excel Mouscron there was a 0-1 defeat. A small crisis is starting, because a point gain in Bruges is by no means realistic. Due to the weak shape of the guests between Bruges and Sint Truiden a tip on the handicap success of the home side is recommended.
