Cercle Brugge to Win

Buoyed by their winning start at Beerschot last week, Cercle Brugge are our favourites to make it two wins from two at Leuven’s expense on Saturday. Cercle trounced Leuven 3-0 when the teams last met in April despite playing the bones of an hour with ten men and they are available at a price worth backing to triumph again this weekend.

Under 2.5 Goals

Cercle Brugge coach Yves Vanderhaeghe oversaw a major recruitment drive in defence over the summer and his team leaned on their new foundations to carve out a 1-0 win at Beerschot on the opening weekend of the season. We’re tipping Cercle’s solidified centre to come to the fore again on Saturday and the under 2.5 goals market is worth sticking to as a result.

Cercle Brugge to Win to Nil

Cercle Brugge’s new-look defence secured an opening day clean sheet at Beerchot and the same robust rearguard could repeat the trick this week. Leuven are still searching for their first goal from open play this term and they failed to notch when they last visited the Jan Breydelstadion in April.

Cercle Brugge vs Leuven: Match Preview

Cercle Brugge

Having masterminded a great escape last season, Cercle manager Yves Vanderhaeghe – who was appointed in February – will be targeting a much higher finish this term and he rebuilt his leaky defence over the summer with that in mind. Jesper Daland, Edgaras Utkus and Senna Miangue were all recruited to shore up the team’s backline during the window and all three players started when Cercle secured an opening day clean sheet at Beerschot.

Leuven

Leuven finished the previous campaign by winning just twice in their final 12 assignments – a run of results that triggered considerable movement in the summer transfer market. It could take some time for all of the new faces in Marc Brys’s squad to build chemistry, so don’t be surprised to see OHL hit a few early bumps.
