Club Brugge can near League qualification by beating PSV in Eindhoven

In the buzzing Philips Stadion in Eindhoven a tense atmosphere hangs as Club Brugge prepares for the crucial European showdown. The Champions League campaign of the Blue-Black can soon take a nice turn after a convincing 3-0 victory over RC Lens; the club now stands with six points from nine ready to meet PSV.

Important Champions League match in Eindhoven

‑commentator Tom Boudeweel emphasizes that the upcoming European match can play a key role in the race for a Champions League place. In two weeks the squad of Ivan Leko travels to Eindhoven for the meeting with PSV. He points out that a victory in Eindhoven would immediately give Club Brugge nine points.

“Imagine that Club Brugge can also win in Eindhoven, then it already has nine points. Last year the club collected ten points and finished nineteenth, two years ago even eleven points and finished twenty‑fourth,” Boudeweel said.

The Dutch opponent raises some doubts for Boudeweel. “My gut feeling says that the Belgians often find it difficult against Dutch teams, but Union did beat PSV last year,” he says.

The first half against Lens was difficult, but after the break Club Brugge turned the game around and recorded a convincing 3-0 win. “Club Brugge now has six points from nine and has scored nine times in three matches,” Boudeweel concludes.
