It’s a trip to Belgium for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side as they look to maintain their position at the top of the Champions League table this Wednesday and we have a bet builder tip for the clash.
Club Brugge are having a decent season in the Belgian Pro League with 10 wins from 17 matches so far. They are third, and five points off the top. In the Champions League, they are struggling. They’ve won one of five, drawn one and lost three. They’re in 26th position.
Arsenal are flying in both the league and the Champions League. They’re top of both tables, with 10 wins from 15 in the Prem and five from five in the Champions League.
Club Brugge vs Arsenal Bet Builder Tip
Club Brugge vs Arsenal Bet Builder Predictions
- Arsenal to win (1/3)
- Bukayo Saka over 0.5 shots on target (4/9)
- Mikel Merino over 0.5 shots on target (3/5)
- Raphael Onyedika to be carded (18/5)
Club Brugge vs Arsenal Prediction – Arsenal to win (1/3)
I think the Gunners will make it six wins from six as they face Club Brugge in this one. They have been outstanding in the Champions League, as well as the league, and have had some very impressive results. They’ve beaten Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid already in the competition, and are establishing themselves as an early shout to go all the way. In the league, they have lost just one in 12, following that defeat to Aston Villa at the weekend. With Brugge having won just one of five in the Champions League, I think Arsenal will have too much for them, and they’ll come away from Belgium with all three points in the bag.
Club Brugge vs Arsenal Shot on Target Tips
Bukayo Saka over 0.5 shots on target (4/9)
Bukayo Saka is again showing his class in the red of Arsenal this season. The winger has scored seven goals in all competitions, with four in the Premier League, two in the Champions League and one in the Carabao Cup. He has had 45 shots in his 19 competitive outings this season, with 24 of them being on target, giving him an average well over one per game. Nine of those shots on target have been in his four Champions League appearances, meaning he’s averaging more than two per game in this competition. Brugge have conceded 13 goals so far in the Champions League, and Arsenal will expose them a few times here, giving Saka ample opportunity to have a shot on target.
ALTERNATIVE BET – Bukayo Saka to score @ 11/8 with bet365
If you want to boost the odds of this bet builder, taking Saka to bag his eighth goal of the season here takes the bet to 20/1 with Bet MGM.
Mikel Merino over 0.5 shots on target (3/5)
Arsenal’s Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino is in excellent form at the moment. The 29-year-old has scored five goals for Arsenal this season, with three in the league and two in the Champions League. He also scored six in six for Spain throughout World Cup qualification. He has had a total of 10 shots on target in 21 matches, with four in five in the Champions League – an average of almost one per game in this competition. Again, Arsenal will create chances, and I’d be surprised if Merino isn’t in on the action by having one or more shots on target.
Club Brugge vs Arsenal Yellow Card Tip
Raphael Onyedika to be carded (18/5 with bet365)
Brugge centre half Raphael Onyedika has been carded seven times in his 22 competitive appearances for the Belgian’s so far this season. He has picked up three bookings in the league, three in the Champions League and one in the Belgian Cup. The Nigerian has made 12 fouls in seven Champions League appearances (including play-off matches), giving him an average of almost two per game in this competition. Coming up against an array of Arsenal talent will give him nightmares already, and I think he will have to make a number of fouls in his attempt to keep them at bay. He’s good odds to pick up his eighth card of the season at 18/5.
