📰 Team News: RWD Molenbeek
Jonathan Heris (Knock) and Kylian Hazard (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will not be able to play for RWD Molenbeek boss Cláudio Caçapa.
We think that RWD Molenbeek may well go for a 5-3-2 system for the game featuring Theo Defourny, Zakaria El Ouahdi, Luis Segovia, Klaus, Florian Le Joncour, Alexis de Sart, Pierre Dwomoh, Xavier Mercier, Abner, Mickaël Biron and Makhtar Gueye.
ℹ️ Team News: Cercle Brugge
Cercle Brugge boss Miron Muslic has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Abu Francis (Torn Meniscus) and Edgaras Utkus (Thigh muscle rupture) miss out here.
We reckon that Groen en Zwart seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 formation with a starting lineup of Warleson, Boris Popovic, Christiaan Ravych, Jesper Daland, Hugo Siquet, L. da Silva, H. van der, Jordan Semedo, Thibo Somers, Gnantin Yann Gboho and Kévin Denkey.
🔮 Prediction
It looks to us that this Cercle Brugge will most probably have the majority of the possession and should turn some of their chances into goals.
However, RWD Molenbeek could well struggle finding the net themselves but we do fancy them being dangerous at times, too.
Accordingly, we see a decent 1-3 winning score for Cercle Brugge at the end of the match.
Our expert partners are tipping over 1.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
