Cercle Brugge KSV vs Leuven Prediction & Betting tips
Playthrough nine in the Proximus League is stepped up with a hot top player. Number two, Cercle Brugge, takes up against number three, Oud-Herverlee Leuven. Who can stay in control of the leader.
Cercle Brugge KSV :
The ambition at Cercle this season is high: promotion to the highest class. The close cooperation with a number of foreign senior executives supports this ambition. Currently there are three points of the leader. The following match is a duel between two ex-first class. What makes it more interesting for the Association is that it lost the front line with no less than 7-1. Time for a revanche so.
Last weekend, Cercle Brugge did an excellent job. It won at Union and puts the leader under pressure. However, the Union was at the forefront of most of the match. Alves Da Silva opened the score for half an hour and the 1-0 position remained until coffee. But after the rest, the troops of José Riga woke up. First Stephen Buyl and then Xavier Mercier put the match all the way upside down.
Buyl and Mercier are the team’s strongholds. They are not only effective, both already well for three goals, they also provide the necessary experience in the team. Both played for a number of years at the highest level at Kortrijk and Buyl made the previous period in first class B with Cercle.
Leuven :
Leuven has a good league match, but the coach has already been replaced. Earlier due to extra-sportive reasons from the lender from England than for the sake of the results. With Nigel Pearson, it took home a coach that Leicester City temporarily coached after the resignation of Claudio Ranieri. After last weekend, OH Leuven is back among the people and brings it back to the first period title.
Against the only team that lost this season, OH Leuven could win again in four games. After Damman’s bad work, Nicolas Storm could open the score for the quarter. Just after rest, Esteban Casagolda was at risk but the goal was rejected. One minute after the whistle, the foul Aristide Diedhiou left the field, shook a male and doubled the score.
Coach Pearson was pleased with the three points, but also with the way his players achieved that. “We were playing faster and fatter than last week, and there was more spirit and togetherness in the group. We dominated the party but forgot to score that second goal against the nets, but we created some excellent opportunities.”
