Real Madrid vs Club Brugge KV Prediction & Betting tips
Real Madrid and Club Brugge both hoped for a better start to the Champions League. Zidane has to win for his own audience, otherwise he will end up in a difficult position.
Real Madrid:
The return of Zinedine Zidane as trainer of Real Madrid has still not delivered what the fans had hoped. The Madrilenians started the season with great difficulty and rarely managed to convince. The Royal is in first place in La Liga after seven duels and thirteen points, but the game is rarely to write home about. Last Saturday, a dragon from a match came to visit his fellow countryman Atletico Madrid in a scoreless draw, which made both trainers little wiser. Top purchase Eden Hazard in particular is not yet emerging.
Where in the competition the results are at least still good, Real experienced a false start in the Champions League. A visit to Paris Saint Germain, which had to do without its super trio Neymar-Mbappe-Cavani, was lost by no less than 3-0. In the home game against Club Brugge, there can only be won to defuse a new crisis. Zidane is happy that he has a number of important pawns back. Sergio Ramos has played his two matches at the end of his deliberate yellow card against Ajax and is back, just like Luka Modric who is back from injuries. The biggest concerns are at the left back position where Ferland Mendy and Marcelo are missing.
Club Brugge:
Club Brugge had to leave the title to Genk last season and this year is keen to crown itself Belgium’s champion for the first time since 2017/2018. The start under the guidance of the new trainer Philippe Clement is certainly promising: the first eight competition matches yielded six wins and two draws. The points were shared against Eupen and fellow title candidate and the other six games were often won with ample figures.
Last weekend the blue-blacks won a visit to Mechelen with a whopping 0-5. Krepin Diatta gave his team the lead and after Rob Schoofs’ red card there was no stopping the home team. Via a double pass by Mbaye Diagne and hits by Siebe Schrijvers and Hans Vanaken, Bruges went down to a 0-5 and gained confidence for the visit to Bernabeu.
A downer for Clement is the loss of two important basic players last week. Club will have to miss Serbian defender Matej Mitrovic and Colombian midfielder Eder Balanta in Madrid. Their places will be taken by Bjorn Mechele and Mats Rits.
