Club Brugge vs Rangers Champions League Bet Builder Tips: Back Tzolis Goal To Sink Visitors In 5/1 Treble

Rangers know they must dramatically improve to see off Club Brugge in their Champions League playoff tie this week.

The Ibrox outfit had a torrid time of it last week in the first-leg in front of their own support and found themselves essentially out of the tie before 20 minutes had passed.

Romeo Vermant, Jorne Spileers and Brandon Mechele had given their side an unassailable lead with just a Danilo goal after the break reducing the deficit and keeping things respectable.

The Light Blues could only draw in their following fixture away to St Mirren and Russell Martin has had a rough week, compounded by Hamza Igamane’s refusal to play in Paisley.

Brugge, meanwhile, were not in action after their clash with Westerlo was postponed. So they have had a spare week to prepare.

Leading bookmakers have the hosts as serious favourites at 8/15 while Rangers would earn decent money at 19/5 to leave for home with what would be a huge victory.

Club Brugge vs Rangers Bet Builder Tips

  • Christos Tzolis anytime scorer @ 6/4
  • Club Brugge half-time/full-time @ 11/8
  • Rangers most cards @ 11/10

Christos Tzolis anytime scorer @ 6/4

The 23-year-old Greek shone at Ibrox last week and looked dangerous every time he moved forward with the ball. He has three goals from eight appearances this term so far and he banged in 21 from 56 outings last season in all competitions, so from the flank he is a talent.

The Gers’ defence is shoddy at times and they will do well to silence the attacker, but we suspect he might have a say.

Club Brugge half-time/full-time @ 11/8

Even away from home last week, Brugge were rampant and led 3-0 before the 20-minute mark. If they can find a similar start in Belgium, they could again blow their opponents away.

Another early goal and, at 4-1 up in the tie, it is plausible to see them sit in and hold onto the result. Wider odds might have been nice but given the circumstances, 11/8 is a relative steal.

Rangers most cards @ 11/10

Decent odds for this one for the away side.

Rangers have dominated the cards game in their most recent games, picking up three away at St Mirren, three more in the first-leg vs Brugge and a couple against Viktoria Plzen in the last round.

Dependent on how this one goes early doors the frustration could boil over. That being said, there’s also the chance that proceedings go the other way and Gers pick up niggly fouls and yellow cards to keep hold of a narrow lead.

Either way we expect Brugge to dominate the ball and force their opponents into difficult moments.
