Club Brugge KV vs Molde Match Preview and Prediction
Club Brugge KV vs Molde: In the last eleven games in all competitions, Club Brugge has only kept two clean sheets. In the last three Conference League games, Molde has scored eight goals. In the last six matches in all competitions, Club Brugge has only triumphed twice.
In the rematch of their UEFA Conference League last-16 round match against Molde on Thursday night at Jan Breydelstadion, Club Brugge will try to overcome a one-goal disadvantage. Striker Fredrik Gulbrandsen gave Molde a 2-1 victory at the end of the first leg last week, scoring the game’s winning goal in the 92nd minute.
Seven days ago on Norwegian soil, Club Brugge did not deserve to lose the opening game. At the Aker Stadion, they saw multiple high-profile chances go awry and one goal disallowed despite being the more aggressive team. In this weekend’s domestic league action, Club Brugge showed resilience by defeating OH Leuven 3-1 at home.
Molde has been on winter break since December 12 of the previous year. That was the day Erling Moe’s team won the NM Cupen final against Bodo/Glimt, guaranteeing them a spot in Europe the next summer. Molde placed sixth in the Norwegian top flight at the end of the season.
Club Brugge KV vs Molde: Betting Analysis
This is only the second time that Club Brugge and Molde have faced each other. Fredrik Gulbrandsen’s last-second goal helped Molde win the first leg of the match, which took place at Aker Stadion seven days ago, 2-1.
Despite taking a break throughout the winter, Molde had two outstanding performances in the knockout stage of the Conference League playoffs. The three goals they scored against Legia Warsaw allowed them to win both at home and away.
Club Brugge could score on Thursday after keeping only two clean sheets in eleven matches across competitions. The visitors should have plenty of room to strike in the final third, as Club Brugge must risk more to overcome the one-goal first-leg deficit. Under these conditions, we expect both teams to score at 1.80.
Club Brugge are heavy favorites, but 1.45 isn’t a good bet. Molde beat Legia Warsaw in both Conference League knockout rounds after strong Europa League achievements. In all competitions, Club Brugge has won only two of its last six matches. We’ll back Molde to win or draw at 2.62 odds.
