Mechelen vs Cercle Bruges Prediction & Betting Tips - Jupiler Pro League

Prediction published on 20/12/2022, 09:25 by Devesh Jaganath in Jupiler Pro League Predictions

After more than a month’s break, Belgian First Division A returns with FC Mechelen going head-to-head with Cerle Brugge at the AFAS Stadion this Friday. Cerle Brugge was enjoying an excellent run of form ahead of the World Cup break, undefeated in their last seven matches with six wins and a draw. After only managing three goals in their first eight matches in all competitions this season, Cerle Brugge has been a lot more clinical in front of goal of late, scoring 11 times in their last six games. Their impressive recent results, which include three consecutive wins, have propelled them into the top half of the table to ninth place. They are now just a single point behind the top 6. The visitor’s away form this season hasn’t been great, managing only three wins in nine outings. But they will be heading into this fixture hoping to pick up where they left off before the break and extend their winning run.

FC Mechelen will kick off this match in 13th place on the log with 18 points in 16 games played. The hosts have been struggling for consistency this season but have been solid at home of late and are unbeaten in the last three games at the AFAS Stadion. Unlike their opponents, Mechelen may be a little more match sharp, having played a friendly against La Liga relegation contenders Espanyol last week, which finished in a 1-1 draw. FC Mechelen has scored 12 goals in their last five competitive matches and will want to start strong and test the opposition defence early in the game. A win for the home side will see them move eight points clear of the relegation zone and set them firmly in mid-table with a game in hand on the teams above them.

Our Mechelen vs Cercle Bruges Prediction

We expect the hosts to start strongly against their opponents, who last played in early November and maybe a little rusty. Both sides were very good at the attacking end before the break and will want to regain their momentum leading up to Christmas. This should be an entertaining watch with lots of chances created at both ends. We fancy both teams to score in this one.
