Next week, Club Brugge will open its UEFA Champions League campaign against the club most think is the best in the world right now: PSG.
But that is then, and today, it is Jupiler League action for the Belgian side. Brugge can jump to the top of the early table with a victory, and I expect that to happen here.
In the Netherlands Eerste Divisie, FC Emmen is a heavy favorite over MVV Maastricht. MVV has played better so far this season, Emmen has been AWFUL at home: winless in eight, lost five of six, has conceded in 19 in a row at home, and has not scored in its last three at home.
Maybe I am reading too much into this, but I am going to take a shot here with a +700 underdog.
