“If the game against Sturm were to take place at home, Bruges would be 60:40 favorites for me. But in Klagenfurt, with the fans behind us, it will be a duel at eye level. But Brugge has a better squad than my former club,” explains Jan-Pieter. The market value of the most successful club in Belgium, which the great Ernst Happel led to the championship title three times (1976, 1977, 1978), is 137.5 million euros. “The Belgian league is stronger than the Austrian, the top is wider. But Sturm is very stable, the team and coach have been together for a long time. Bruges, on the other hand, is in transition. An advantage for the people of Graz,” says Martens.
