OUR BENFICA VS CLUB BRUGGE BETTING TIPS
Benfica already has a foot in the quarterfinals after taking a 2-0 lead in the first leg in Brugge, but Club Brugge won’t give up just yet, even if they are clear underdogs.
Benfica must thus approach the rematch seriously, and the only way to do so is to aim for yet another victory. With that in mind, Benfica will win after leading at the interval in our first Club Brugge vs. Benfica prediction.
TIP 1#: Halftime/Fulltime – 1/1 @ 1.80
Given that we anticipate a more open contest in the rematch than in the first leg, where we didn’t expect to see many goals, our prediction for the second leg is that the score will exceed 2.5 total goals.
This season, Benfica has averaged 3.57 goals per game in the Champions League. While Club Brugge has only scored an average of 1.86 goals per game so far this season, they will need to be more aggressive in the second leg if they are to achieve a two-goal differential.
