AS Eupen - Cercle Brugge predictions

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of AS Eupen fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Cercle Brugge would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

We are likely going to see Cercle Brugge triumph this Sunday, though AS Eupen do have a fighting chance. Maybe the home field advantage will be enough to spur them into a surprise draw or victory, though it’s not a probable outcome.

Recovering from a 27 home defeat will be AS Eupen’s main aim this Sunday. This last round’s drubbing was a warning sign for the hosts who conceded early in the match and never managed to recover.

Cercle Brugge were the 2.05 underdogs in their previous Pro League matchup, despite facing Club Brugge on home ground. Still, their fans weren’t as disappointed as most predictions expected them to be. Records show that the match turned out to be an HT/FT draw – a success for Cercle Brugge considering the lopsided odds.

AS Eupen have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Pro League matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

Our confidence that Cercle Brugge will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

Cercle Brugge already won a match against AS Eupen this season while playing a home game. Even though they won’t have home-field advantage this time, they’re still considered favourites. After all, their previous victory was quite decisive and ended with a considerable lead.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 2.05.
