Cercle Brugge KSV vs Waregem Prediction & Betting tips
Red lantern Cercle Bruges takes on a West-Flemish game against Zulte Waregem. Cercle urgently needs a tripod to be able to close the gap with the penultimate one. Waregem is at a whim after the cup match and also needs the points in the fight for the top six.
Cercle Bruges:
For the first time since he tackled Cercle Brugge and provided a makeover, Bernd Storck expressed his doubts on Saturday. Cercle was loose sand under Mercadal, but there is a plan under Storck. The German kept chaste and made choices on all fronts. The chaff was separated from the corn, the input of the youth gave the association hope and ensured a recovery of the DNA. Three out of thirty under Mercadal, five out of twenty-seven under Storck: it can’t get any thinner. But luckily the competition doesn’t do much better. Before the winter break, Cercle plays at home against Zulte Waregem and on Boxing Day it moves to Kortrijk.
“Zulte Waregem is a must win game,” said Storck. “We will also change the team, I cannot tolerate players asleep like in Charleroi. I saw six who wanted to win, but also five who did not want that. ”Another chance that they take into account at Cercle: due to the financial troubles of KV Oostende and possible obstacles in license files, they hope that there will be escape routes again this season to stay in first class.
Good football is not rewarded and no points win. On Saturday in Charleroi it became clear that the moral front is starting to show cracks after the eight out of fifty-seven. Many players are sidelined and murmuring, many routiniers are out. What role can they play later and will they digest Storck’s hard training regime? At Christmas they have to go into seclusion before the match in Kortrijk and after that a short week’s holiday follows. Will that be enough to recharge the batteries and still guide the ship to safer waters with the newcomers? Many players are also mercenaries. To what extent do they still care about Cercle’s fate?
Waregem:
Party at the Gaverbeek. Zulte Waregem stopped Charleroi’s handsome series and nodded the Carolos out of the cup. Saido Berahino was the king thanks to a wonderful opening goal. Essevee is the first semi-finalist. The way in which the English Burundian team gave the home team the lead shortly after the break was magnificent. He was looking for a combination with Cyle Larin and after a handsome one-two, he was alone in front of the goal. With a fake shot, the dribble put Charleroi goalkeeper on the wrong foot and Berahino scored from a sharp angle.
However, the lead did not mean for Zulte Waregem that Charleroi was mischievous. On the contrary. The game went well up and down and the Carolos were actually the most dangerous team. The only thing missing was a goal. The visitors were unlucky that the life-threatening Fall, his early hit was rightly rejected for offside, had to be replaced injured. Larin made it 2-0 in the absolute final.
Francky Dury: “I am happy because we have qualified, but also because we have eliminated a very strong opponent. Whether we are going for full profit? All good teams are still in it and the times are over when teams play with their B team. The importance of the cup is now so great, because you go directly to the Europa League pools. The advantage of the semi-finals is that you have back and back duels. That gives both teams an equal chance. ”
