Gent - Cercle Brugge predictions

Gent are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Cercle Brugge may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Cercle Brugge who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

,GHELAMCO-arena proved to be fertile grounds for Gent in the previous round against Sint-Truiden . They maintained an impressive lead throughout the match and secured a respectable 2:0 home win.

Most bookies were expecting the away team’s previous match to be completely one-sided, but it ended with a 0:0 draw. They went toe to toe with Union Saint-Gilloise throughout the game’s runtime, which is not something most Pro League betting tips saw coming.

With 8 concessions over the last 3 matches, Gent will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Cercle Brugge once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Noah Fadiga, Nurio Fortuna, Aimé Omgba, Zalán Vancsa. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Abdoul Kader Ouattara, Flávio Nazinho, B. Gonçalves de Jesus, Dalangunypole Gomis. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
