Feyenoord vs Club Brugge Prediction
Feyenoord are the Eredivisie champions, having done incredibly well last season to beat the likes of Ajax and PSV Eindhoven to the league title. Manager Arne Slot was a man in demand and for a brief period of time looked likely to become the Tottenham Hotspur boss, but instead decided to extend his contract with the Dutch giants.
They have lost an important player though; midfielder Orkun Kokcu has moved to Benfica. The 22-year-old was a pivotal part of Feyenoord last season, and it will be interesting to see how the club replaces his presence and output.
Club Brugge, on the other hand, have recently let go of mercurial winger Noa Lang to PSV Eindhoven. Lang's talent was never in question; his temperament and personality have come under the radar though. The 24-year-old was an important cog in the Club Brugge wheel though, and players like Ferran Jutgla and Andreas Skov Olsen will have to step up as a result.
Hans Vanaken has been at the club for a long time now, and the midfielder was once again important for the side last season. However, it might be time for Club Brugge to start thinking of succession plans, with Vanaken now in his 30s.
We expect Feyenoord to win this game.
Prediction: Feyenoord 1-0 Club Brugge
