Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Cercle Brugge
Match Time & Date:
14/09/2024
10:00 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Genk
All eyes will be on Jan Breydel Stadion when Cercle Brugge and Genk go head to head in a highly-anticipated Jupiler League game. Cercle Brugge aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to their local rivals Club Brugge and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Genk. The good news for the hosts is that talented Burkina Faso forward Abdoul Kade Ouattara has overcome his minor injury. There are no fresh selection worries in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, but beating Cercle Brugge on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that both sides should be happy with one point from the match. Midfielder Luca Oyen remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away team, while Nikolas Sattlberger is pushing for a start after scoring the winner against Westerlo.
