PSG vs Club Brugge odds, expert picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s PSG vs Club Brugge odds and lines, with Champions League picks and predictions.

On Tuesday, Club Brugge (1 win, 3 losses, 1 draw) travels to Parc des Princes to take on PSG (4-1-0). Kickoff is set for 12:45 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the PSG vs Club Brugge odds and lines, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

The top two clubs in Group A have already been decided, which means PSG may not start their strongest XI.

With Neymar out for months, PSG will be down to just Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi as their stars up top. Down 4 points from Man City in Group A, it could be unlikely we see either.

As for Club Brugge, with a win, they could get one of the few spots for the third team in a group. They drew PSG 1-1 the last time these two teams battled.

They’ll look for some type of result again as they travel to France for this match.

Prediction

PSG 2, Club Brugge 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line.

If there is a playable wager here, it’s the draw at +500. PSG, easily upon the French Ligue 1, is by far the better team, but they’re injured, and in no way, need to win this game.

Sergio Ramos and Julian Draxler are both out as well, hurting PSG’s backline and midfield. Given the non-urgent condition of this game, PSG may not play Mbappe or Messi anyway.

While I’m still not confident about it, I think seeing a sluggish PSG side wouldn’t be unthinkable. Also, Club Brugge is fighting for their lives. They’re 3rd in the Belgian league and have scored 32 goals in 17 games.

They can put up goals and should be able to get at least against a susceptible PSG side.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 3.5 (-105). PSG is going to be down a key defender, a key forward and a key midfielder. That’s a perfect storm for not getting a plethora of attempts.

While their depth should help them prevail, scoring in bunches likely won’t be their expertise in this one. PSG has scored 1 goal in their last 2 Ligue 1 matches. They have just 9 in 5 games in Group A action, giving up 7.

Club Brugge has also struggled to score, averaging just a goal per game. Put the averages together, and you get around a 2-1 game which is what I expect.

Manchester City vs. Club Brugge odds, expert picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Manchester City vs. Club Brugge odds and lines, with Champions League picks and predictions.

On Wednesday, Club Brugge (1 win, 1 loss, 1 draw) will travel to take on Manchester City (2-1-0). The match will kick off at 4 p.m. ET, and will be held at Etihad Stadium. Below, we preview the Manchester City vs. Club Brugge odds and lines, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Despite having lost to PSG earlier in Group A action, Manchester City has taken care of business in a dominating way against the group’s other clubs. They defeated RB Leipzig 6-3 and took down Club Brugge 5-1.

With the best midfield in the world led by M Jack Grealish and M Kevin de Bruyne, Man City aren’t only among the best teams in Group A, but they’re also a top-five club in the English Premier League.

They’ll again draw Club Brugge, one of the best teams in Belgium’s top league.

Brugge took down Leipzig and impressively drew PSG. Brugge is currently the No. 2 team in the Belgian Pro League. They’ll be without D Éder Balanta on Wednesday.

20-year-old F Charles De Ketelaere and 22-year-old M Noa Lang, a duo that respectively have 7 and 9 combined goals and assists, lead Brugge into this competitive battle with one of the world’s best clubs.

Prediction

Manchester City 3, Club Brugge 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line.

While I don’t hate the BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE at +115, I’d much rather have that as Brugge has scored in every UCL game so far this campaign. It’s at least something to consider as this money line is one to stay far away from.

That said, given that Brugge is competitive and did draw PSG, I’d stay away from either the Man City money line or the draw, the value respectively just isn’t there.

I’d never bet a -1000, and at the same time, I wouldn’t back a +900 draw as City is one of the best clubs in the world.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 3.5 (-135) as Man City has been running throw lower-level UCL clubs. They put up 6 on RB Leipzig and 5 on Club Brugge in Round 1.

While they’ve struggled in the EPL, Man City did have back-to-back games of 5 and 4 against Brugge and Brighton. Having struggled over their last two, this should be a match that Man City regains its confidence.

With F Phil Foden and F Raheem Sterling both looking to solidify their role in the starting XI, Man City should be looking to feed their stars and keep the depleted Brugge backline busy.

Brugge also allows over a goal per game and nears two per game on the offensive end. They should be able to help the total by getting one of the board.

Club Brugge vs. Manchester City odds, expert picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Club Brugge vs. Manchester City odds and lines, with Champions League picks and predictions.

In a Group A showdown, Manchester City (1 win, 1 loss, 0 draws) will travel to take on Club Brugge (1 win, 0 losses, 1 draw). The match is set to kick off at 3 p.m. ET and will be held at Jan Breydel Stadium. Below, we preview the Club Brugge vs. Manchester City odds and lines, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

This is going to be an important game for Manchester City. The clear favorite will be down star F Ferran Torres. GK Ederson and F Jesus are also doubtful.

Missing those three will hurt their attack, but the Man City world-class midfield should lead the charge. M Jack Grealish and M Kevin de Bruyne should be active. Man City is third in the EPL after 8 games.

As for Club Brugge, D Éder Balanta is doubtful, but that’s their only player reportedly questionable. The club is ranked second in the Belgian Pro League.

Brugge drew PSG to kick off UCL action and beat RB Leipzig 2-1. As for Man City, they beat RB 6-3 and then lost to PSG 2-0.

Prediction

Manchester City 3, Club Brugge 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line. Man City is great, but Brugge has shown a solid resilience with their draw with PSG.

For more than three-and-a-half times the price of a unit, I’d stay away, especially as Man City recently also has a draw against Southampton, a weaker EPL side. The value just isn’t there for the favorite.

What I would consider is betting BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE at -105. Man City has 6 goals in 2 UCL matches.

They had 17 shots but were shut out by PSG. As for Club Brugge, they score well over a goal per game in league play and have scored 3 in 2 games in UCL action.

Both teams have an elite attack with the ability to break through an opponent’s backline. Twenty-two-year-old F Noa Lang is being targeted by top-tier EPL clubs. He’s the real deal, and if he sees action, he could produce.

With Grealish, de Bruyne and many other greats on the opposing side, Man City should manage at least one, potentially many more as well.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 3.5 (+133) as Brugge is more like RB Leipzig than PSG. They’ve given up 13 goals in 11 games in the Belgian league.

Against an elite Man City attack spearheaded by their midfield and more than likely F Raheem Sterling up top, City should be able to score at will in this match. Brugge has a great attack, notching 20 goals in those 11 games.

Without Ederson and coming off a Saturday match against Burnley in which they gave up 7 shots to a weak Burnley, Man City could easily give up a goal or two as well.

At the money-back value, betting for many to be scored is worth the wager.

Paris Saint-Germain at Club Brugge odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Paris Saint-Germain at Club Brugge odds and lines, with UEFA Champions League picks and predictions.

On the second day of the first round of group stage action in the EUFA Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain visits Club Brugge at Jan Breydel Stadium Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Paris Saint-Germain vs. Club Brugge odds and lines, and make our best UEFA Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Both sides are coming in atop their separate league table. Club Brugge has four wins, two ties, and a loss in the Belgian league. It’s one point above the second-place Union SG.

Brugge is led by an attacking trio of M Hans Vanaken, F Noa Lang and F Charles De Ketelaere, each with 3 goals on the season.

PSG is undefeated with five wins, scoring 16 goals so far in the season. Led by F Neymar, F Kylian Mbappe, and F Lionel Messi, PSG has the best attacking trio in the world.

It has been questioned defensively but has typically responded well, not yet succumbing to a draw. With a talented side like this, it enters as a heavy favorite.

Prediction

PSG 3, Club Brugge 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line as returning less than a third of your investment for PSG to win is just not wise.

While PSG is the favorite, as we saw yesterday with Manchester United, it’s not always an absolute guarantee it will come out on top. Betting $340 to win $100 on the PSG money line is not the way to go.

However, betting for both sides to score is a much better play. PSG has the best attack in the world and Club Brugge should be able to get on the board. Brugge has 15 goals through 7 games in the Belgian top league.

PSG has given up 5 goals through five games in Ligue 1 play. Given its defensive struggles, betting that BOTH TEAMS WILL SCORE (-127) has much better value for bettors.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 3.5 (+112) as PSG has enough scoring power to cover the Over on its own.

Whenever you combine arguably three of the top five forwards in the world, you’re going to have a powerful, unstoppable offense. That’s what PSG did and it also has M Georginio Wijnaldum and other talents in the midfield.

Among the top-two favorites to win the Champions League, PSG should have a crushing victory, and given its defensive form in Ligue 1, it wouldn’t be shocking if it gives up at least one as well.

Regardless, I’d bet on Messi, Neymar and Mbappe to break through multiple times rather than the other way around.
