⚡ Prediction

In this game, Waasland-Beveren have enough to breach the defence of this Cercle Brugge lineup, but a single goal may not be as many as they will have scored against them.

We therefore reckon that it will be a very close game with a 1-2 advantage for Cercle Brugge at full-time. There looks to be little in this one.
