Club Brugge make the trip to Austria to take on Salzburg in the first leg of this Champions League qualifier, and I've put together a Quick Tips Bet Builder ahead of proceedings, coming in at just over EVS.

Both Teams to Score

Both of these sides are underway in their domestic leagues so this should be a pretty well matched tie between two teams that have seen plenty of goals in their early domestic games. 

Salzburg got their domestic campaign underway against newly promoted Ried but struggled to breakdown the underdogs despite an xG of 2.82 to Ried’s 0.84. The game ended in a 2-2 draw which would suggest that Salzburg can be vulnerable at the back - Salzburg saw BTTS in both of their matches against Brann in the last round of qualifying.

Club Brugge have seen BTTS in each of their opening two games of the Belgian First Division season. They won their opening game against Genk before falling to a 2-1 defeat on the road against Mechelen. Both sides have put in patchy performances in their early league games which should see goals at both ends here.

Club Brugge Double Chance

I slightly lean towards Club Brugge over the two legs and think they can record a positive result in this first leg to help them over the line. Club Brugge boasted the best away record in the Belgian First Division last season, avoiding defeat in 17 of their 20 games on the road last term.

They scored 40 goals across these games, but also conceded 21, which are metrics that aid both of our selections for this qualifier.

Salzburg Face Tougher European Test After Brann Victory

Salzburg have already had to battle through a round of Champions League qualifying as they overcame Brann in the second round. It was a pretty convincing victory with Salzburg running out 4-1 winners in the first leg before coasting to victory with a 1-1 draw in the second encounter.

This will be a lot more challenging a task for Salzburg than the last round was - Salzburg have regularly featured in the Europa League or the Champions League in each of the last five seasons so that does give them some European pedigree but this advantage is matched when looking at Club Brugge’s recent record in Europe.


🔵 Resilient Club Brugge Well-Prepared for Another European Run

It’s easy to forget that this Club Brugge side reached the last 16 of the Champions League last season after finishing 24th in the league phase but shocking Atalanta in the playoff game before they were eventually knocked out by Aston Villa.

Club Brugge showed plenty of resilience during this run and it will aid them in future European campaigns. Club Brugge finished second in the Belgian First Division last season, just three points behind Union St Gilloise. Their imperious away record domestically last season should prove valuable in the first leg of this tie.

The most recent meeting between these sides was back in 2019 in the Europa League. 

The sides played twice with Club Brugge running out 2-1 winners initially before Salzburg came away 4-0 winners in the second meeting.
