Cercle Brugge vs Leuven betting tips 31 Aug 2013 Belgium Pro League: "Cercle Brugge tried hard in the previous round, but failed to avoid the defeat in a difficult match on the road they lost narrowly with a 1:0 result to Genk. Hosts scored in the fourth minute and despite great effort from their visitors, they managed to keep the lead till the end of the match, while newly acquired goalkeeper of Cercle Brugge Delle made a good impression in his debut."

This year is also expected to be quite difficult for them, as they stay in the league in the toughest possible way the season before. Their clear target for this season is also avoiding the relegation, no matter in which way. Their financial status isn’t at he bright level this Summer either and despite some gaps in the roster, they aren’t expected to bring any new faces. However they did well till now having a victory, two draws and two defeats, staying out of the last positions at the table early in the season. Going into the match against Leuven, there is no other target for the home side but to try to get the three pointer, as they are facing against a team which is in similar problems.

Goalkeeper Verbist (4/0) is injured, but doesn’t seem to be in the plans of coach after the signing of Delle from Nice. Players will be field up in a 4-3-3 formation, while the attack will be led by Boi, Kabananga and D’Haene.Leuven is entering this game after achieving great victory last weekend, which was their first into the new season, winning over Lokeren 2:1 at home. They were behind in the scoreline at the beginning of the second half, but responded with two goals in eleven minutes for a fairly taken victory.

After five rounds, the team has a victory, draw and three defeats, while the main target, as said, remains staying in the league this season. The teams target for this game is to stay unbeaten and if possible, try to hurt their hosts and get another three pointer which would be precious in their relegation battle as Cercle is one of their direct rivals. They have signed striker Kostovski from Vardar (scored 22 goals last season) to improve the attacking line, while the visitors remain to fight without right back Bandalovski (2/0) who is suspended, while main right midfielder Vanaudenaerde is still out with a long term injury, same as central defender Raymaekers. Guests will also field the 4-3-3 formation with aggressive trio being Azevedo, Cerigioni and Messoudi.

There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Oud-Heverlee’s last three away games.

Cercle Bruges are undefeated in their last five home matches against Oud-Heverlee.

Both teams will try to get the three pointer tonight, both playing in a 4-3-3 formation. It’s obvious the game will be open one, with much more chances for goals that the bookmakers are suggesting at the moment.

Bet: Over 2.5 goals
