Club Brugge vs Copenhagen Betting Tips & Odds

by JohnnyBet from

As Champions League fixtures go this is rather low key compared to some of the ties being played out in this competition, but that shouldn’t detract from how well Copenhagen have played.

Whether the Danes qualify for the knockout phase or not, they can be very proud of the way they have performed against the experienced Porto and the English champions Leicester City, and even if they have to settle for a place in the Europa League they can do so with their heads held high.

For Club Brugge, well, this is merely a chance to redeem themselves in front of their own supporters after a wretched Champions League campaign. At the time of writing, five matches had yielded five defeats, and the Belgians have been completely outclassed on each occasion.

So will Copenhagen complete the victory that is expected of them, or can Brugge pull off an unlikely upset at this late juncture?

1. Club Brugge vs Copenhagen Betting Odds

In some respects this is a hard fixture to call, and perhaps that is reflected by the uncertainty in the prices offered by bet365 and the other bookmakers.

They have Club Brugge, the home side remember, priced at 3.40, with visitors Copenhagen backable at 2.05 and the draw at 3.50.

So what has been the root cause of Brugge’s woes then? Certainly, their issues have been multiple, but an inability to defend properly hasn’t helped. Heavy defeats against Copenhagen themselves (0-4) and Leicester (0-3) are indicative of how far behind the rest of the teams in this group they are.

They should have done better at home as well, but that resounding loss against Leicester and a 1-2 defeat to Porto on Belgian soil have helped to compound the misery.

Have there been any signs of redemption? Not really. They played well in the 1-0 defeat in Portugal, but that was a backs-to-the-wall effort, rather than dictating the play.

So yes, Copenhagen are a very interesting proposition here. They have been in fantastic form this season in the Danish Superligaen – at the time of writing they were unbeaten in 17 games, and they have carried that through into their European adventure as well.

Barring an unlucky defeat in Leicester, where they had enough chances to win the game, they are otherwise unbeaten; and being hard to beat is an excellent trait to have in the locker. Their finest hour - the 4-0 win over Brugge - was as comfortable a victory as you are ever likely to see.

So can we offer Belgian fans any hope in this match? No, not really. We expect the Danes to enjoy themselves against the hapless Brugge, and will as such be backing a Copenhagen victory at 2.05.

One final note: three matches have gone over the 2.5 goal mark in Group G….and Brugge were involved in all of them. So let’s back the ‘overs’ market again at 1.90 here.
