1.80Tip and bets
The hosts are considered clear favorites of this meeting, which is not surprising, given the disastrous start of the season by the visitors and the fatigue due to European Cup matches. But recently the team's results have begun to improve, and European Cups can be forgotten for a month. The last five matches between the clubs from Bruges ended in a draw, perhaps now the nominal guests will be able to take points from their opponents.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+1) on Cercle Brugge for 1.95
Bet on total
We don't think we'll see many goals in this match. The visitors have been drained of energy by the European Cup matches, and the hosts are just getting into optimal shape. Most likely, even with a combined effort, the teams won't score more than three goals.
Bet - total under 3.5 goals. This outcome is offered for 1.60
Bet on corners
Brugge are the favourites and will clearly dominate for the entire 90 minutes – the home team should beat their opponents in corners.
