Cercle Brugge KSV vs Genk Prediction & Betting tips
Team in shape Racing Genk makes a trip to Bruges, where the Association will play. Will the visitors continue on their way? Or will Cercle take the step to the top eight?
Cercle Bruges:
Cercle Brugge efficiently beat Waasland-Beveren last weekend, but went home against Mouscron on Wednesday. Remarkable: there were no Belgians at the kick-off at the Association in either party. On August 8, Cercle Brugge started the new season in the Jupiler Pro League and it did so with three Belgians at the kick-off: Kylian Hazard and youth products Robbe Decostere and Charles Vanhoutte. With Alexander Corryn and Thibo Somers, two more came in. Not a single Belgian started in the base against Mouscron and the first compatriot, Somers, made his appearance in minute 88. For the rest it is a French legion.
Cercle Brugge has missed a unique opportunity to get next to Anderlecht. After a lackluster first half, the Association took the lead. But after rejecting the 2-0, Mouscron went on and on. Lots of mistakes, four yellow cards and annoyingly little good play, that was just about the summary of the first half. It could be read on both coaches that they were not satisfied either. Then it comes down to who can motivate his team the most during half-time to take that extra step. So Mouscron ..
Cercle Brugge beat Waasland-Beveren 0-2 last weekend. The visitors owed the victory to an efficient Ugbo. The attacker scored twice, so he already has seven goals this season. After the game, Ugbo was of course satisfied with his two goals, but the most important thing for him was the victory. “As a striker you always have to be ready, so I’m happy with my two goals. We stuck to the plan and we worked hard. ”
Genk:
After two raids, Bryan Heynen was found fit enough for a starting place against Mouscron. And the Limburger did not disappoint in the least. After a hesitant start, the midfielder showed himself to be a beacon of calm in the Genk axis. No frills, but very precise. Heynen was allowed to rest ten minutes before the whistle after a rock-solid match. “It’s getting better, I play football with confidence. Conditionally it can be even better, which is not illogical. I feel very good in this group, everyone is happy that I am fit again. Whether this system is fun to play? Yes certainly. Although any system is nice if you can feel the ball often. ”
Cyriel Dessers scored continuously in the Dutch Eredivisie last season, but at KRC Genk the attacker has to be content with a place on the bench and a few raids. John van den Brom also chooses Paul Onuachu as attack leader of KRC Genk. The Nigerian international with Belgian roots has already announced that he does not intend to kick ass. “I want to wait for the first season, but next season I want to grab prizes and become a top scorer,” he said earlier.
Arsenal want to bring Sander Berge from Sheffield United to London. And the red shirts will pay a pretty penny for that. KRC Genk is watching with a lot of interest. Sheffield United paid 24 million euros to KRC Genk for Sander Berge. In addition, the Limburgers reportedly stipulated a resale percentage of no less than twenty percent. And that is just as important in the file. According to The Daily Mail, the Norwegian international is one of Arsenal’s top targets. In fact, the Gunners are currently preparing a formal offer.
