Sint-Truiden - Cercle Brugge betting tips and odds

Sint-Truiden will have to put on their best performance to record a home win against Cercle Brugge. The price of 3.20 indicates a difficult battle and that’s exactly what we expect to see in this match.

Cercle Brugge are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

Sint-Truiden will have been delighted with their result from the last round of the Pro League. They were the overwhelming underdogs heading into their last league trip and their fans were not exactly confident their team would return home with anything in the bag. However, a brave first-half display saw Sint-Truiden take the lead and earn a gigantic point after the break, in what turned out to be a rather surprising Gent draw.

Cercle Brugge played at Standard Liège in the previous round, which wasn’t exactly an easy matchup, to begin with. The scores were still tied in the second half, but they overcame the home-field disadvantage and recorded a $RESULT win.

Unspurred by the home-field advantage, Sint-Truiden ended both of their latest home games with less than 2 goals between them and the opposition. It’s safe to assume we won’t see a lot of action this time around either.

If there’s any consistency to be found in the recent match history of Cercle Brugge, it’s that the games tend to be rather uneventful. The latest two ended up with fewer than 2 goals on the score board.

Most bookies are expecting the away team to take the win based on the previous time we saw this matchup play in the Pro League. Although the records are only as recent as the previous season, Cercle Brugge defeated Sint-Truiden with a convincing goal difference.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

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 1.93. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
