Molde vs Club Brugge Betting Tips: BTTS / Over 2.5 

This Thursday, high-scoring Molde is set to host Club Brugge in Norway, promising an entertaining evening.

Molde, who finished fifth in the Eliteserien in December, are yet to start their domestic campaign. They are often a sure bet for goal chasers, especially when playing at the Aker Stadion. In ten of their last 11 home matches since October, both teams have scored, a fact that Thursday’s hosts have witnessed.

Molde have proven to be particularly dependable in the goal markets during European competitions. The team from Norway has witnessed both teams scoring (BTTS) and over 2.5 goals being netted in their past four European home matches. This includes a 3:2 victory over Legia Warsaw in the playoff round just a month ago. Indeed, Molde’s last seven European games have each seen over 2.5 goals, with BTTS also occurring in six of these matches.

Consistent numbers have also been posted in my preferred goal markets by those visiting Brugge. Since August, BTTS has been seen in seven of the last ten Conference League matches by the Belgians.

Ronny Deila’s team has been exceptional in their European matches this season, securing five wins on the road in this competition since their 1:0 loss to AGF last August. From that point, Brugge has scored 16 goals, five of which were in a remarkable 5:0 victory against Besiktas.

Considering their excellent performance in away games, Brugge will likely be confident in achieving a positive outcome against Molde, who has only participated in two competitive matches in the last three months. Nonetheless, Molde has a strong home game record, and I am certain that both teams will score in this game.

BTTS is my top pick while I also fancy at least three goals scored in a likely lively Conference League contest.
