Preview

Club Brugge and Lens both have three points after two games, so this is a big night for the knockout places. Brugge lost at home in their opener, then won 4-3 at Inter. Ivan Leko called this match a final, expects a 50-50 contest and plans to use his usual starting eleven. Brugge edged Lokeren in the cup at the weekend through a Félix Lemaréchal goal. Lens lost 2-0 at home to Sporting in Europe, but won 3-1 at Troyes in Ligue 1 on Saturday, with Ruben Aguilar scoring twice. Defender Ismaëlo Ganiou was forced off around the hour with a leg problem, so watch the team news. The market leans to Brugge at 47% for the win, too close to call for us. Goals look the better angle: three of the four Champions League games these sides have played went over 2.5, with five and seven goals in Brugge's two. We rate over 2.5 goals at 61%, priced at 1.57.
