2.05Tip and bets
Brugge are in great shape and are winning victory after victory – the black and blues suffered their last defeat in mid-October, and their last defeat at the national level was in September. It is obvious that today the hosts will strive to gain a comfortable advantage before the return match and the chances of success are quite high – Genk is inferior in terms of the selection of players, is not distinguished by such stability, and in face-to-face meetings the miners regularly lose to their opponents.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Brugge . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.05
Bet on total
Brugge plays open attacking football and scores a lot - the last three opponents of the black and blues have scored 10 goals. Today the hosts will also clearly be as aggressive as possible in front in an attempt to win and Genk has very few chances to play reliably. At the same time, the highlanders are unlikely to just defend, the guests have high-level players up front, the match will certainly be spectacular and productive.
Bet - total over three goals. This bet is offered for 1.91
Bet on corners
Brugge are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners in Brugge. This bet is offered for 1.85
