Jupiler Pro League 2022: Club Brugge vs Cercle Brugge
Their is no doubt Club Brugge fans will be a tad nervous heading into this Bruges derby having taken just one point from a possible six against their neighbours last season. The 2-0 defeat ended an unbeaten run against Cercle Brugge stretching back nearly a decade to 2013, giving the smaller of the two clubs something to cheer in the Jupiler Pro League 2022 campaign.
Despite picking up two positive results in this fixture last season, Cercle Brugge have struggled to get going in the new campaign. They have won just once in their opening six games and have failed to score more than once in a match. This does not bode well as they prepare to face a Club Brugge side that have scored in every game and found the net eight times in their last three fixtures.
The champions will be brimming with confidence following three consecutive wins, as new signing Ferran Jutgla continues to justify his fee. The former Barcelona striker has scored five and assisted twice in six games this season, including a brace in Brugge’s 3-1 win over Charleroi last time out. The 23-year-old’s goals will be pivotal in firing his side towards the Jupiler Pro League 2022 title.
Although they struggled in this fixture last season, Club Brugge will be favourites to pick up a fourth straight win at 1.57. Cercle Brugge are huge underdogs at 5.75, and the odds are 25.00 for them to beat the champions by the same 2-0 scoreline as when they last met. The draw also offers potentially good value at 4.45, as form can sometimes go out the window in high pressure derby games.
Club Brugge vs Cercle Brugge Betting Tips
Club Brugge win and both to score – 2.90
Club Brugge haven’t looked the tightest defensively and we like Cercle Brugge’s chances of getting on the scoresheet. However, it’s hard to bet against the champions’ firepower and three of their four wins in the Jupiler Pro League 2022 season have also seen them concede.
Club Brugge win 2-1 – 7.00
This has been the most frequent score in the Bruges derby of late. Before last season’s two games, Club Brugge had won this fixture 2-1 three times in a row. They undoubtedly have the class across the pitch to get over the line, and they will be expected to beat their rivals.
Tie with goals – 4.95
This is a huge derby game and there is every chance Cercle Brugge come out with a point to prove. They will need to put together their best performance of the season and ride their luck at times, but they could nick a point against their old foe.
