Club Brugge - Cercle Brugge predictions

Club Brugge are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.46, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for Cercle Brugge, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 6.50.

The hosts’ supporters are not happy with what they saw from the squad last round. They went in as the favourites despite a home-field disadvantage, but couldn’t seem to get off the ground. After spending most of the game’s runtime playing from behind, they recorded a narrow 2:1 away loss.

The away team’s home supporters were in for a painful show in the previous round, with Cercle Brugge facing Anderlecht on their home turf. Much like most predictions and bookies expected, their defences quickly crumbled and they were already behind at the 45-minute mark. This goal difference only increased with time, ultimately ending in a 0:2 loss.

If Club Brugge managed to keep the form they had last season, this match won’t be a big problem for them. They defeated Cercle Brugge more than once that year, and every instance was a decisive result with a goal difference of over 2.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
