Club Brugge KV vs Lens — Tips & Analysis

Over 3: Club Brugge have been in a goal rush, and that is the main reason we are on goals here. Their last five games read 1-0 against Lokeren-Temse, 4-3 at Inter, 4-1 at RAAL La Louviere, 3-0 against Genk and 3-1 against Antwerp. Brugge have won their last five and score more than 2 goals a game. Lens are not here to defend either. They score more than 2 goals a game on the road across seven away trips, winning 3-2 at Slavia Praha and 3-1 at Troyes last time out. Lens also arrive with a patched-up back line. Nawrocki, Gradit, Ganiou, Abdulhamid and Chavez are all missing, so Brugge should find chances. Brugge are short at the back too, without Joel Ordonez and Hugo Siquet. 11 of Brugge's last 16 games and 11 of Lens's last 16 had 3 or more goals. A 2-1 Brugge win is the most likely single score, and that leaves this finely balanced. We want one more goal than that. The warning is Brugge's home record. They have let in less than a goal a game at the Jan Breydel. 9 of Brugge's last 16 games and 9 of Lens's last 16 stayed at three goals or fewer. We still think the open, end-to-end version of this game is the one we get.
