A home win should not be questioned in this game. Genk are seen as huge favourites to register an easy win against Cercle Brugge and we recommend you take the generous offer of 1.70.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Cercle Brugge will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

Genk’s performance against Sporting Charleroi in the previous round was not quite convincing and few can call it spectacular. A lead in the first half led into a narrow 1:2 away victory.

Cercle Brugge are here on the back of a noted triumph against Waasland-Beveren. They maintained an impressive lead throughout the match, which lead to a comfortable 2:0 home victory.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Pro League season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Cercle Brugge. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
