Club Brugge LensNo absentees
Club Brugge vs Lens predictions point to goals at the Jan Breydelstadion, where Club Brugge host Lens with both sides having leaked freely in the Champions League league phase (8pm UK time).
Anthony Eadson’s Club Brugge vs Lens predictions, best bets and score prediction for Wednesday’s 8pm (UK time) kick-off are below.
Premium Tips
We have picked out two bets for the Jan Breydelstadion, where kick-off is 8pm (UK time) on Wednesday.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Florian Thauvin 2+ shots on target | 12/5 (Ladbrokes) | Florian Thauvin has 11 shots on target in Ligue 1 this season, the fourth-most in the division, and he has hit the target at least twice in four of his seven league outings. Lens scored three in Prague on matchday one, and Club Brugge have conceded five in two league-phase games, so the visitors’ main creative outlet should get his looks. Thauvin also takes plenty of their set-pieces. Ladbrokes go 12/5 on him landing two or more shots on target. |
| Hans Vanaken to assist anytime | 11/2 (Ladbrokes) | Hans Vanaken remains the creative heartbeat of this Club Brugge side, which has scored six goals in its opening two league-phase matches. The hosts should carve out openings against a Lens defence that has already conceded four goals across two games. With Brugge expected to take the game to their visitors on home soil, the veteran playmaker looks well placed to tee up a goal, and 11/2 is a fair price for his involvement. |

How Club Brugge go into the game
Club Brugge have won one and lost one to sit 16th with three points. They produced the shock of matchday two, winning 4-3 away at Internazionale, having lost their home opener 3-2 to Aston Villa.
Those two games have produced goals at both ends, with six scored and six conceded. Nicolo Tresoldi and Hans Vanaken have kept them dangerous going forward, but a leaky backline and a home defeat already on the board are causes for concern.
How Lens go into the game
Lens also sit on three points, down in 19th after a win and a defeat. They were beaten 2-0 at home by Sporting CP last time out, a setback that followed a 3-2 win away at Slavia Praha on the opening night.
That home blank was a surprise given they had scored three on the road a fortnight earlier, and Florian Thauvin and Florian Sotoca will look to rediscover their touch. Lens have won their only away game so far, which bodes well for this trip.
Club Brugge vs Lens head-to-head
There is no recent competitive history between Club Brugge and Lens, so Wednesday’s meeting is fresh territory for both clubs.
