Club Brugge
LensForm guide
Club Brugge are second in Belgium with 21 points from eight games, seven wins and one defeat, with 19 goals scored and just 4 conceded. They have won five in a row, including a remarkable 4-3 win at Inter in the Champions League last week, and a 1-0 cup win over Lokeren at the weekend. Their only European defeat was 3-2 at home to Aston Villa. They have not drawn any of their last eight games.
Lens are eighth in Ligue 1 with 10 points from seven games. They won 3-2 at Slavia Prague on matchday one but lost 2-0 at home to Sporting last week, so they have three points. Their away games are lively: all five since late August had three or more goals, including a 3-1 win at Troyes at the weekend.
Head-to-head
We found no previous competitive meeting between the two clubs.
Team news
Lens are badly hit in defence, with Nawrocki and Gradit injured, Todibo unavailable, Chavez left out and Aguilar a doubt. Brugge are missing only Ordoñez.
Our prediction and why
We take over 1.5 goals. Every Lens away game since late August had at least three goals, Brugge scored four in Milan last week, and Lens' depleted back line makes goals even more likely.
Other bets to consider
No draw (12) is our second pick. Brugge have not drawn in eight games and Lens have drawn just once in their last eight.
