Leuven and Cercle Brugge meet with both sides searching for momentum, but recent numbers suggest the hosts hold a clear edge. Therefore, we predict a 2-1 home win. Leuven have taken 1.40 points per game overall and look far more reliable in attack, scoring 1.50 goals per match while posting a 70% BTTS rate. Even with mixed results lately, their underlying metrics remain solid, with expected goals standing at 1.46. Leuven injury news sees Roggerio Nyakossi likely sidelined after limping off last time out, with Takuma Ominami expected to deputise.
Cercle Brugge, on the other hand, are struggling badly, collecting just 0.60 points per game and winning only 10% of their matches. They concede 1.80 goals per game and have failed to keep a clean sheet in 90% of fixtures, despite generating a healthy 1.77 xG. For Cercle Brugge, defender Valy remains injured, although his absence should not drastically weaken an already leaky back line.
With Leuven being in a much better form than Cercle Brugge, Home Win should be considered, alongside BTTS (55% H2H) 2.5 goals (both teams average around 2.7–2.9 total goals per match).
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Sunday 21 December 2025 at 18:15.
