Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Following a 1-1 draw with St. Truiden, Cercle Brugge will look to kick off their Conference League campaign in style when they face St. Gallen on Thursday afternoon. Cercle Brugge have been having their ups and downs in the Jupiler League of late, but the fact that they defeated Gent in their last home game is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the Conference League opener. The likes of Bayo, Gomis, Lietaert, and Utkus should miss out with injuries for the home side.
The Espen, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Yverdon and given their difficulties on the road in European competitions, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. Bear in mind, though, that St. Gallen head coach Enrico Maassen should have a full squad to choose from against the Jupiler League outfit.
