Genk - Cercle Brugge betting tips and odds

It’s easy to point out Genk as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Cercle Brugge are given 5.50 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

Pro League betting predictions were quite optimistic about the home team’s chances of winning their previous match, and they turned out to be correct. Genk pulled ahead of their opponents Zulte-Waregem quite quickly and only increased their lead as the game progressed.

The away team failed to leverage the home-field advantage of their previous Pro League game and win the bout, finishing 0:0 after a drawn-out stalemate. A draw was indeed one of the more likely scenarios, but their home supporters were hoping that they would be able to snag 3 points.

Genk have managed to bag 9 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Luminus Arena are expecting a lot of action this time around.

Cercle Brugge are noted for taking a rather restrained and passive approach – at least as far as their most recent home games are concerned. The previous two confirmed the Under 5 Goals market, meaning they weren’t very exciting.

A clash between these two teams last season ended in a stalemate. Overall, this was worse news for Genk, who are widely considered the stronger team.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

A confirmed Under 2.5 Goals market seems like a foregone conclusion for this particular match. The only thing to do now is to decide whether the relatively short 2.38 odds are worth your time. We would say they are because this bet manages to have real betting value as well.
