Eupen vs Club Brugge KV Prediction & Betting tips
The new season in the Belgian Jupiler League started with a real bang last weekend. The reigning champions Club Bruges, which suffered only one defeat in the entire last season, sensationally lost 1-0 at home against Charleroi and are therefore already under special observation on Sunday as part of the second match day.
Then it comes to the duel between Eupen and Bruges, in which, according to the odds, the defending champion is of course still considered a big favorite. Should the underdog get something that can be counted, the triple stake will be paid out. The signs are therefore clearly distributed before kick-off.
The crucial question from a betting point of view is how the corresponding quotations can be boosted on a probable favorite win in such a way that sustainable value is created? Above all, a handicap success, double result (HT / FT) and a three-point without conceding a goal are available.
Due to the impressions from the past season as well as the certainly increased concentration on the part of the blue-blacks after the mentioned opening failure, the prognosis for a “zero” success of the guests seems in our eyes between Eupen and Bruges.
Eupen:
The Royal General Sports Association, or KAS for short, is now in its fifth consecutive season in Belgium’s top division. By far the most successful football club in the country’s German-speaking community has once again set itself the goal of collecting enough points against relegation as early as possible so as not to slip into the endangered zones of the ranking.
Last year, this endeavor succeeded quite well with rank 13 at the time of the cancellation, although the Spanish coach Benat San Jose certainly sees a lot of room for improvement in the way his team played.
The offensive in particular turned out to be too harmless time and again. The only 28 goals scored in 29 completed matches corresponded to the third weakest value in the Jupiler League. In front of a home crowd, the whites and blacks made the second worst offensive with just 14 hits. In this respect, it is hardly surprising that we tend in a similar direction on Sunday evening and that between Eupen and Bruges the tip on a “zero” success of the master has an attractive value.
The start of the new season was solid for the East Belgian. In Leuven, Eupen stole one point, but considering the 28 shots fired in the direction of the opponent’s case, it would definitely have deserved more. The lack of efficiency in the attack paired with the previous year’s disappointing home record (4-4-6) lead to the assumption that before the duel Eupen against Bruges, the prognosis of an outsider success does not bring much value.
Bruges:
Thanks to a whopping 15 points lead after 29 match days, Club Bruges left no doubt in the past season that the championship title went to West Flanders, despite the abandonment. With 21 wins, seven draws and only one defeat, the blue-blacks dominated national events at will, bringing the crown back to the north of the country.
The defense in particular was able to convince over the entire playing year and conceded only 14 goals in more than twice as many games. In 17 of 29 cases, the royal association kept the clean slate, which in turn can be used as an argument to allude the odds on a renewed clean sheet of the favorite on Sunday between Eupen and Bruges.
With all the hymns of praise for the 2019/2020 season, it should not be neglected that the start of 20/21 went completely wrong. At home against last year’s third Charleroi it set a surprising 0: 1 bankruptcy, which now puts the industry leader a week later a bit under pressure. However, we believe that this slip will even have a positive effect on weekend performance. We consequently expect a concentrated performance.
Coach Philippe Clement, who is in his second year of contract, has to do without center-back Matej Mitrovic. Otherwise, however, all actors are available. In terms of quality, the multiple Champions League participant is therefore clearly better rated than the upcoming opponent, who, incidentally, has never been able to win against the 16-time title holder in Belgium’s first floor.
