2019-12-1120:00:00 Club Brugge will win this match.
The only previous meeting between Real Madrid and Club Brugge took place in the Bernabeu back in October as Brugge came out with a 2-2 draw. Real were forced to fight back from two goals down just to get that point as well.
Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:
Club Brugge are at 9/5, a draw is at 11/4, and Real Madrid are a 5/4.
Group A of the Champions League began with a bit of a bang and looked as if it might shock us, but in the end it has not. PSG are on top and will not be surpassed with 13 points. They will be group winners. Real Madrid have only eight, but they are going to finish second since third place Brugge have just three so far. Due to that total, it means that Brugge are in danger of losing out on the Europa League place that a third place finish would bring. They would lose that spot if Galatasaray win and they drop points here at home.
Club Brugge are well on top in the Belgian Jupiler League at the moment, leading by seven points (with a match in hand) over second place Gent. That gives them the chance to attack this with a gusto in order to try and stay in Europe, albeit the secondary competition. They have just one loss in Belgium all year, so that is a big plus for them. At home, they have eight wins, four draws, and a loss in all competitions.
Real Madrid are also doing well in their domestic league at the moment. Los Blancos don’t look like the side they used to be, but they are level on points with Barcelona and sit second via goal difference right now. They have four wins in a row in La Liga and 13 points from 15, so they are doing very well at least in the division there. Away from home in all comps this term, they have taken five wins, two draws, and two losses thus far.
Betfair have no for both sides scoring at 2.63.
Club Brugge, you have to feel, would love to remain in some sort of European competition, and the only way to guarantee that is to win here. They get that victory over a Real side looking toward other goals.
Philippe Clement will be without center back Matej Mitrovic but otherwise looks to have a full side available to him for this fixture against Los Blancos.
Brugge had a number of heroes in their draw in Madrid the first time around, and one of them was Emmanuel Dennis. The Nigerian scored twice in the first half to shock the crowd into silence and he will be asked to do similar things here if they want to continue in Europe. In goal, former Liverpool man Simon Mignolet was also a massive that night. He has a ton of experience at the top level, and he can marshal a side through a tricky period when called upon.
Club Brugge have three wins and two draws in their last five matches:
1-2 win at Sint-Truiden
1-1 draw, penalty win at Oostende (Cup)
1-0 home win vs Royal Mouscron
1-1 draw at Galatasaray (UCL)
2-0 home win vs Oostende
Zinedine Zidane has a pretty substantial injury list ahead of this match. Defenders Nacho and Marcelo are ruled out, while attacking talents such as Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Lucas Vasquez, and Marco Asensio are also out of the going. To protect from any further injuries, expect a fair amount of changes to be made.
It must be nice to have a man like Luka Modric come off the bench, but that’s what took place on Saturday. That means Modric could be set to start here, giving Real a boost in midfield. He’s got so much quality and experience that it will be tough to get much past him for the Belgians. Up front, Rodrygo will look to keep on impressing. The youngster has made a big splash in limited time so far, and this will be a perfect opportunity for him to grab some more headlines.
Real Madrid have four wins and a draw in their last five matches:
2-0 home win vs Espanyol
1-2 win at Alaves
2-2 home draw vs PSG (UCL)
3-1 home win vs Real Sociedad
0-4 win at Eibar
