Cercle Brugge KSV vs Gent Match Preview

Cercle Brugge welcomes Gent in the twenty-third matchday of the Belgian league.

The hosts are coming off a 1-2 away win over Ostend to redeem their recent good performances with a win they were missing for four games. At home, in ten games they have only two defeats, indicative of the fact that they are a difficult team to defeat and with the two very important winter transfers they will fight to the end for entry into the top eight.

The visitors, on the other hand, easily won away from home with 0-3 against Sint Truidden in a match in which they had an unfair numerical advantage from the fifteenth minute. In addition, Gent will be without the services of some of their important units and I think it will be difficult for them to make a second consecutive victory since instability is something that characterizes them. H2h is not on the side of the guests since in the last three away games against Cercle Brugge they have got just one point.

In conclusion, I expect a game where the hosts will try to get the three points by taking advantage of their home ground and I think they have a better chance than the odds suggest. So I'll bet 3pts on the 1X double chance which is priced at 1.65 which I think is worth it as Cercle Brugge will fight hard.
