Cercle Brugge - Antwerp predictions

Cercle Brugge are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Antwerp. The odds of 2.46 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Cercle Brugge on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

Cercle Brugge tied with Kortrijk in the previous round, which was all they could muster after falling behind in the first half. They were considered the more likely team to win going in, though, even though they played as the visitors.

The away team’s failure to win their previous Pro League matchup was not a welcome sight for their home supporters. Entering the match as clear favourites, they wound up bogged down in a stalemate with OH Leuven which lasted throughout the game’s runtime.

Cercle Brugge haven’t ended a single one of their previous 7 matches without getting their name on the score board. It’s a remarkable bit of consistency if nothing else.

The away team’s home game record shows a high rate of goal scoring – more than 5 in the previous 3 matches, to be precise. Although they don’t have the advantage of a home game in this showdown, their attackers are still determined to do well against Cercle Brugge.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current Pro League season. Antwerp won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.
