Cercle Brugge KSV vs Mouscron Prediction & Betting tips
Cercle Brugge will face Mouscron on Tuesday in what is a very important game for the home team. Winning is the only option to make the gap with the penultimate one unbridgeable. The visitors try to reverse their bad series.
Cercle Bruges:
With three out of thirty-six, of which zero out of six since the change of trainers, Cercle Brugge remains at the bottom. But the performance of his decimated team (without the suspended Rominigue Kouamé and no less than eleven injured) gives Bernd Storck hope for improvement. Kylian Hazard and especially Alimami Gory in injury time had the equalizer and the earned point. Finishing, however, remains the Achilles heel of the hatchback. On Tuesday, Storck’s former team Mouscron comes to Jan Breydel and Cercle must now also translate the good football that it brought to the Luminus Arena into points.
Cercle went to visit the Dutch national champion from Genk last weekend. Genk took the lead very quickly and there was a fear of punishment. Strangely enough, this was not the signal for Genk to push the accelerator pedal even harder, but to let Cercle enter the match. The third quarter was better and the Cercle goalkeeper was able to distinguish himself several times. IN the second half, Genk almost completely fell asleep and even went backwards at moments.
“Our performance was certainly much better in the second half than what my team brought against Charleroi last week. My assignment now at Cercle cannot be compared to what I was able to put down in Mouscron last season, because I had a team with much more experience there. Now I had a team with an average age of 20.5 years due to the many absentee. But they really did an excellent job. They have fought for every ball I asked for, they have played well ahead and they have taken chances, “said Storck.
Mouscron:
This summer the Frenchman Jean Butez seemed to be heading for Club Brugge for a long time. Eventually the transfer broke down and Club opted for Simon Mignolet. Butez was on the bench for Vaso Vasic at the start of the season, but in recent weeks he has regained his place. Butez played an excellent game against Sporting Charleroi, but Mouscron eventually lost with the slightest difference. In the end of the game, he collided hard with Charleroi-striker Gholizadeh. The Frenchman was taken to the hospital and may have broken his arm.
Charleroi and Mouscron were able to do an excellent job in the battle for play-off 1. Whoever won could, for the time being, book their place in the top six. The verdict was 0-0 at half-time, although the Zebras were the only team to really show anything in the first 45 minutes. After the break, Mouscron seemed to get out of the dressing room a little better, but it soon came close to 1-0. It continued to bite until minute 96, but the visitors did not get much further than a free kick.
“We wanted to accommodate the Charleroi counters, yet we ran into the 1-0. We might have earned a point, but we didn’t score. Then of course you can’t grab points either. Mouscron only took two out of fifteen in our last matches, but we have had a tough program. We must continue to work hard. “Coach Bernd Hollerbach said afterwards.
