ODDS – 10/1 with Bet365

 

Benfica to win

Benfica are five points clear at the tip of the Primeira Liga, ahead of second placed FC Porto. They have won 17 of their 20 league matches so far this season, drawing two and losing just one in the process. Of their last five league matches, they have won four and drawn one, with the draw coming against rivals Sporting. Club Brugge are unbeaten in their last six matches, however only one of those games have been a win, with five being draws. Prior to their six game unbeaten streak, they were defeated by table toppers Genk. I think Benfica will have too much for them here and I’m backing them to leave Belgium with a win.

 

Over 2 goals in the match

I think Benfica will be fairly comfortable in this match, and I think they will get a couple of goals. That said, there’s a good chance Brugge will get on the scoresheet too, so I’m backing over two goals in the match for both teams combined. There has been two or more goals in each of Benfica’s last seven matches in all competitions, with the Portuguese side scoring either two or three alone in six of these seven games. There has been two or more goals in nine of Brugge’s last 10 fixtures. I think this selection has a very good chance of landing.

 

Brandon Mechele to be booked

Brandon Mechele has been booked in his last two matches, and I think there’s a good chance the centre back will collect his third booking in as many games in this one against a tough Benfica side. I think Brugge will have their backs against the wall for a lot of this fixture and, as a defender, I think Mechele will be forced to foul either on the turn or in a 50/50. He has picked up four yellow cards in the league this season, and taking him to be carded adds a lot of value to this bet.
