CLUB BRUGGE v ZULTE-WAREGEM
Friday 23rd November 2018 – Kickoff: 2030hrs
Football – Belgium – First Division A Betting Tips
Club Brugge will be keen to return to winning ways when they take on lowly Zulte-Waregem in the Belgian top flight as the action continues on Friday night.
The hosts have been disappointing in recent matches as they’ve managed to register just one win from their last six matches overall which was a resounding 4-0 home win over Oostende, and they’ll be looking for more of the same on Friday night no doubt.
Recent defeats to Standard Liege and Sporting Charleroi along with frustrating draws against Waasland-Beveren, Sint-Truiden and Genk have meant they’ve had to settle for second place so far, but they can reduce the points deficit to just one, ahead of this weekend’s fixtures.
Club Brugge have a home record of 6-1-0 21/5 as the goals have been raining in with midfielder Vanaken (6 goals) and forwards Schrijvers and Wesley (7 goals apiece) being the main contributors.
Waasland-Beveren find themselves in a curious position of just one point above the relegation spot but currently occupying a Europa League qualifying place as they sit in 13th place in the First Division A.
However, although they’ve won recent back-to-back home games against Standard Liege and bottom club Lokeren at their Regenboogstadion, their exploits, or rather, lack of them away from home have resulted in the visitors still nervously looking over their shoulders of the relegation spot.
An away record of 0-1-6 7/21 is not the kind of record you want to take with you when looking to contain a free-scoring Club Brugge side, and they’ve also lost their last six on the trot on the road as well as conceding 2 goals or more in 6 of their 7 away matches to date.
The betting tips indicate an easy win for Club Brugge who should also cover the asian handicap here.
