Club Brugge KV vs Bayer Leverkusen Match Preview

Belgian champions Club Brugge host Bayer Leverkusen in their UEFA Champions League group stage opener.

The hosts are in excellent form as they have won five out of seven games and drawn one of them since winning the domestic Super Cup. Their offensive line is at a high level having scored twelve goals in the last four games while they have been significantly strengthened in the last few days of transfers with the aim of defending the title in Belgium and stepping up in European competitions.

The visitors, on the other hand, do not look like a UEFA Champions League team after a painful early exit in the German Cup followed by four defeats in five Bundesliga games, the most recent being a 2-3 home defeat to Freiburg. In their only win, away to Mainz, they had luck on their side as they could have been beaten despite the final 0-3 that was shaped in twelve minutes.

In conclusion, I think the favorite to win here is Club Brugge as they are in a great form, unlike the limping Germans. However, I will stake 3 units to 1 DNB at 2.38 odds that I consider having high value.
