Waasland Beveren - Club Brugge /
Belgium First League
This is the first game of the new season and for me Club Brugge is the big favorite to win this match. In preparation, Club Brugge usually played against good opponents (Bordeaux, Zenit, Sofia, ...) and in the last match against Bordeaux, the coach normally played with the players who will start the season. It was 0-0 but Club Brugge missedseveral opportunities. Simons missed a penalty and Castillo missed an open chance. In this game the will score these opportunities. The defense was okay and they gave no chances away.
In the off season, Club Brugge didn’t many transfers. Only Menegazzo, de Fauw and Sabala were obtained, but all three players add value for Club Brugge. In addition, Storm (youth product) played a very good preparation. It is a player who can give good crosses and this is a player Club Brugge can use.
Club Brugge has several injured players, but it is only de Sutter who is important, but I am convinced that Castillo could replace him. Castillo can be compared with Carlos Bacca (now Seville). In the first season he struggled to adapt to Europe (both come from South America) but in his 2nd season Bacca has shown his class. I think Castillo will also show his class this season and the opportunities that he has missed against Bordeaux, he certainly will score against Waasland-Beveren.
Last season, it was already difficult for Waasland-Beveren to stay (13th in standing) in first class and for this season the players are weaker. They lost two key players (Veselinovic and Trickovski) that are not replaced. They also lost their trainer Peeters (Charlton) who kept them in first class. Waasland-Beveren will have a very difficult season and against Club Brugge they will not be able to win points.
In preparation they only won against small teams and when they played against teams from the first division, they only won against Zulte Waregem.
The last 2 seasons Club Brugge won at Waasland-Beveren with 1-2 and 2-6. Club Brugge is also a team that has a good start at the season. The last 3 years they won the first game of the season.
I think the odds will go lower for Club Brugge.
Pick: Club Brugge/ odds: 1,75 / RESULT ( 0 : 2 ) WIN
