*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Although Cercle Brugge are coming off a 2-1 victory against Gent, their recent form does not inspire a lot of confidence. Miron Muslic’s men suffered four defeats in their last five matches. They are up against a Sint-Truidense side that did not lose any of their previous five games.
Despite their recent shortcomings, Cercle Brugge are the expected winners at 13/20 (1.65). Teams with these odds generally have a 60.6% probability of winning.

Player to watch: Kevin Denkey
Kevin Denkey put in a man-of-the-match performance earlier this week, as his two goals were enough to secure all three points in Cercle Brugge's clash with Gent. The Togolese player has scored four times in eight First Division A games this season. He also has a great track record against Sint-Truidense, having scored in each of the last three encounters between these teams.
