Zenit vs Club Brugge Betting Tips

Russia's champions have started this season in Russian Superleague more than well, achieving 7 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss. In the last domestic league match, they defeated Sochi 3-1. Spartak Moscow and Zenit are on the same number of points right now. Zenit did not have to play qualifications and their rival in this match Club Brugge that also was the champions of its country. Malcolm missed the game against Sochi due to a COVID infection, so he will not be able to help the team in this match. There are no other injuries or suspensions for the Russian team in this game.

Belgium team had some great moments in the last season group stage of the Champions League. They played a draw against Real Madrid, for example. They are coming off a draw against Standard Liege 1-1 away from home. Club Brugge is on the top of their domestic league, the same as their rival from Russia. And one more identical case is that they are sharing the first position with one team, in this case, that is Charleroi. Simon Mignolet, goalkeeper of Club Brugge, will not be able to play due to COVID infection. Odilon Kossounou and Michael Krmencik also tested positive for the virus. Matej Mitrovic has not been on the field for a long time.

Zenit vs Club Brugge Correct Score Predictions

This is the first game of the season in the strongest European club competition. In addition to these two teams, the group also includes Dortmund and Lazio, which are favored in relation to them. However, this is one of the most equal groups and I give one of these two teams a chance to get involved in the further fight for placement. A lot depends on this match, so surely both of them will go for the victory, but I would say that the most realistic option here is a draw. Although Zenit is the favorite, I do not believe that Brugge will surrender without a fight. They are very underestimated here and I take it as a prediction for an accurate 1-1 result
