Club Brugge Double Chance
Belgian champions Club Brugge are the surprise leaders of UCL Group B ahead of the sixth and final matchday in the section and having already secured their place in the next phase of the competition, they will be determined to hold on to top spot. Bayer Leverkusen need a win to stand a chance of finishing third and claiming a place in the Europa League, however, Die Werkself are in the midst of a dismal run of just one victory in nine matches and they might buckle under the pressure again here. With that considered, Club Brugge look a big price in the double chance market and we’re tipping the surprise package to avoid defeat in Germany.
Both Teams to Score
Bayer Leverkusen’s results have been underwhelming this season, though they have managed to find a spark in the final third in recent weeks and goals have been notched at both ends in three of their last four assignments in all competitions as a result. Backed by an enthusiastic crowd at the BayArena, Bayer should be able to register again on Tuesday, however, keeping Club Brugge out at the other end should prove a trickier task. The hosts have kept just one clean sheet in their last nine contests and Club Brugge should have chances to impact the scoresheet against Leverkusen’s brittle backline. With those factors aligned, it makes sense to back both teams to score here.
