2022 Belgian Super Cup Betting Tips Favor the Champions for Another Trophy

The 2021/22 Belgian champion, Club Brugge will meet the Belgian Cup winner KAA Gent in the 2022 Belgian Super Cup this Sunday, on the 17th of July. Brugge has won the title a record 16 times. And they are favored to win again according to the 2022 Belgian Super Cup betting tips. But Gent has already managed to defeat them before, so let’s see their chances of winning now. 

One of the first top matches in European football this summer will be the Belgian Super Cup, played this Sunday at the Jan Breydel Stadium in Bruges. Like in most countries, the winner of the domestic league and the cup will meet in this game. In Belgium, it will be Club Brugge that became Belgian champion for the 18th time in the club’s history.

And the cup winners, KAA Gent who defeated Anderlecht on penalties in the cup final. Brugge has been doing extremely well in the Super Cup after winning 16 times out of 19 appearances. Gent will play only in its fourth final, losing twice before. They got their only win against Brugge though in 2015, at the only Super Cup meeting of the two clubs.

2022 Belgian Super Cup Betting Tips Favor Brugge to win 

Club Brugge won the Belgian Championship for the third consecutive year this season which was their 18th title. Even though the team finished second in the regular season they managed to beat Union SG twice in the play-off. These wins helped them to win another championship title. The Farmers also got to the semi-finals in the Belgian Cup but lost there against their current opponent, KAA Gent. They can take revenge in the Super Cup now where the team has lots of experience and success. No wonder online sportsbooks in Belgium favor them for the win with the odds of 2.05. 

Players like Belgian midfielder, Charles De Ketelaere and Dutch forward, Bas Dost can help to achieve it. Both players scored lots of goals and played well last season. De Ketelaere even attracted other teams’ interests. He might leave the club in the summer to join AC Milan. He is still here though just like former Liverpool goalkeeper Simone Mignolet who can be another key player on Sunday. The 2022 Belgian Super Cup betting tips still expect more than 2,5 goals in the game. Bookmakers offer the odds of 1.85 for that. Goals from both teams are also likely and have the odds of 1.70. Signaling that Gent will be a tough opponent for Brugge. As it was also proved in their previous meetings. 

Gent Can also Win Against Brugge Like in the Past

Gent met Brugge three times in the previous season. Twice in the championship and in the semi-final of the cup. The Buffalos managed to win all three games against the champion. What’s more, they knocked them out with a 6-1 win last August. Surely even the biggest fans don’t expect such a result this Sunday, but another win is certainly possible. Online gambling sites in Belgium offer the odds of 3.10 for Gent’s victory. Moroccan Tarik Tissoudali, the club’s top scorer with 25 goals can be a key to another success. He seems to be in a similar form after scoring the winner against Danish FC Midtjylland in a friendly match last week. 

The cup winners only finished fifth in the championship but got to the last 16 in the Europa Conference League. They lost against PAOK there 3-1 on aggregate. Still, it showed that the club can do well in tournaments, and surprise stronger teams. Like they did five years ago in the 2015 Super Cup final when Gent also defeated Brugge. Based on recent forms, we should expect a tight game between the two clubs. Having a draw after 90 minutes is another option and has the odds of 3.50 on bet365. But playing at the home stadium and previous final experiences might give some advantage to the defending champions.
