Westerlo - Cercle Brugge predictions

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Westerlo fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Cercle Brugge would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

If everything goes according to plan and Cercle Brugge put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

The last round brought a very good result overall for Westerlo. They took a difficult Pro League trip and managed to go against all odds in order to record an important Gent away draw.

Last round was rather disappointing for Cercle Brugge, who were favourites in a home game against Standard Liège. Both halves of the game ended in draws, prompting some to raise questions about their Cercle Brugge’s ability to press the advantage. In the end, a 1:1 draw was nothing to be proud about.

Westerlo have been having issues defending lately, though it’s mostly affected their away games for now. They’ve recorded 5 concessions in the past 3 games as visitors.

This matchup tends to go the obvious way. By that, we’re referring to the previous instance when these two squads clashed in the current season. Cercle Brugge walked away with a comfortable win.

The visitors clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, which is made even more sure thanks to the presence of their entire roster. They’ve had no injuries or suspensions recently, leaving their lineup intact for the game.
