Cercle Bruges vs St. Truiden Free Betting Tips Jupiler League

No victory again for St. Truiden?

Betting Tips: Under 3.5 goals
Odds: 1.44

Cercle Bruges welcomes the Flemish neighbor St. Truiden for the sixth round of the Jupiler League. The home side got off to a surprisingly good start to the season: A narrow bankruptcy at the start at Standard Liège was followed by victories against the cup winners from Antwerp and KV Mechelen.

But in the end, the form curve showed again with two bankruptcies, whereby the opposition with the form strong kickers from Kortrijk and the record champions Anderlecht was unquestionably demanding.

The guests are also not in a stable condition. After the three-point against runner-up Gent at the start of the season, there was no more victory.

For the upcoming match in the Jan Breydel Stadium between Cercle Brugge and St. Truiden, the prediction includes under 4 goals during the game.

Betting Tips: Cercle <1.5 goals
Odds: 1.85

Cercle Bruges – Statistics & current form

Coach Paul Clement has only been in office since last July. He previously worked at Reading, but that position was two years ago. However, his professional skills should be particularly good. After all, Clement was already under contract as an assistant coach at various top European clubs such as Bayern Munich or Real Madrid.

Cercle-Coach is the favorite assistant of the great “Carletto”

He owes his illustrious list, which also includes Real Madrid and Chelsea, to Carlo Ancelotti, who always wanted him to be at his side. Thanks to this longstanding collaboration with one of the greatest of his guild, Clement can be seen as a successful update for the Bruges coaching bench.

However, the initial success did not materialize again. One reason is certainly Guy Mbenza’s injury in the storm. The Congolese secured victory on matchday two with his double strike against Antwerp, but now the 20-year-old youngster is out due to injury for the time being.

Without Mbenza, a maximum of one goal by the home side?

For the already average offensive, only Waasland-Beveren scored less last season, this is a real weakening and not a single goal has been scored for two match days. Because of this, the odds for less than two goals by the home side are of interest in the match between Cercle Brugge and St. Truiden.

The probable lineup of Cercle Bruges:
Didillon – Decostere – Ueda – Taravel – Velkovski – Hazard – Hoggas – Omolo – Vanhoutte – Hotic – Ugbo

St. Truiden – Statistics & current form

St. Truiden got it again: Last weekend in a 3-2 draw against Antwerp, Mory Konate lost a player to yellow-red. Although the 26-year-old was already substituted at the time of the referee’s decision, he will now be missing in the next match.

Yellow-blues don’t take prisoners

For the STVV it was the third expulsion in the still-young season. This is an important factor for the lack of success: Coach Kevin Muscat, who as a player himself was a notorious predator, has to change his team regularly because of the flood of cards.

This naturally disturbs the development of playful automatisms within the team on the lawn. A bright spot in the recent bankruptcy against the oldest club in the country was the appearance of Seung-Woo Lee.

Experienced Teixara can come back on the defensive

The South Korean delivered a double pack and is now responsible for a third of the goals of the season on the VV’s side in the otherwise rather weak attack series. The return of Jorge Teixeira in defense is also encouraging from the yellow-blue perspective. Unsurprisingly, the veteran has served his card block.

The probable lineup of St. Truiden:
Steppe – Mananga – Teixara – Matsubarra – Janssens – Asamoah – Colombatto – Durkin – Colido – Suzuki – Lee

Cercle Brugge vs St. Truiden Free Betting Tips

With Cercle against St. Truiden, both teams are on an equal footing. Admittedly, this is currently only slightly above the sward in terms of the level of play. The home side suffered completely deserved defeats on the last two matchdays and their offensive acted close to the refusal to work.

It can be seen from the fact that in the lost home game against Kortrijk and the following defeat at the Lotto Park in Anderlecht, a direct shot on goal was fired in 90 minutes of play. On the other hand, the guests are equally unstable at the moment: two bankruptcies and two draws were conceded on the past four match days.

For the match between Cercle Brugge and St. Truiden, the tip aims that fewer than four goals will be scored. As a rule, the matches between the two teams are rich in goals, but this time there are signs of an exception.

Key facts – Cercle Bruges vs St. Truiden tips

Cercle have won eight of their last ten home games against St. Truiden (8-0-2)
Guests have been waiting for the next win for four rounds
The home side have not scored for 180 minutes

Cercle plays without his strongest striker Mbenza and the guests have admittedly recently scored twice against Antwerp, but overall they were still not convincing offensively.

They fired three narrow shots on goal, making the two goals more flattering and primarily due to the bumbling defensive behavior of the opponent. Besides, given the balanced character on the pitch, the teams should neutralize themselves as much as possible.
