Forbs and Tresoldi of Club Brugge pose a 50/50 challenge for PSV

PSV host Club Brugge on Wednesday evening, a team that brims with confidence after recent victories. The article, written by Karel Osthoff, invites readers to follow us more often on Google. The match promises to be an exciting confrontation between the Dutch and Belgian top clubs.

Club Brugge has recently made an impression with a 3-4 win over Internazionale and a 3-0 victory over RC Lens. In addition, the squad has former Ajax player Carlos Forbs, an absolute game‑changer.

Glenn Schrader of the Belgian branch of VP talked about Club Brugge's chances, Forbs's development and the dangers for PSV. He stated that Club Brugge is a team to be reckoned with. He regarded the win over Inter as a huge upset.

Schrader praised the way Brugge played at the San Siro, without simply surviving, and said that they really hurt Inter. Against Lens, however, the team was not dominant for ninety minutes and Lens created many chances.

Schrader noted that in Belgium there is still a slight feeling that the team is a bit weaker this season than last season. Carlos Forbs, a Portuguese winger, did not succeed at Ajax, but is now one of the most dangerous attackers in Belgium.

Forbs and his impact at Club Brugge

According to Schrader, so far no defender has been able to truly stop Forbs this season. Forbs benefits from his new surroundings, gains more confidence and the freedom to use his speed.

He has always had speed and dribbling as weapons; at Club Brugge he can employ them better. Schrader now sees Forbs more as a team player, better positioned to lay the ball off, and suggests that if he maintains this level he will not stay at the club for long.

Forbs forms a dangerous duo with Nicolò Tresoldi, who recently scored hat‑tricks against Inter and STVV. Schrader currently calls this duo perhaps the most dangerous connection at Club Brugge.

Forbs is very quick, delivers low crosses; Tresoldi is a striker who has a good sense of where the ball will fall. This combination can cause big problems for PSV.

PSV must find a solution against Brugge

The Eindhoven side faces a tough task; if they give Forbs too much space, he uses his speed, and if they double‑mark, he can service Tresoldi. Hans Vanaken, former PSV youth player, remains hugely important and provides calm and link between midfield and attack.

Under coach Ivan Leko, Club Brugge has gained new fire and intensity, playing more forward than under Nicky Hayen. Schrader expects no easy evening for PSV and gives the match a 50/50 chance.

PSV under Bosz plays high press and pushes many players forward, creating space behind the defence where Forbs and Tresoldi are dangerous. PSV's defensive organisation is not always stable; against Lens the French created many chances and against Inter the club conceded three goals.

With PSV's attacking qualities they can certainly hurt Club Brugge if they get space around the 16th minute.
