Cercle Brugge has been handed the advantage in this game by most sportsbooks. They stand a narrow chance of making it to the top 8 if they win this game. So with the Championship playoffs round at stake, backing the hosts to win the game for odds of 1.67 has a 60% probability. Sint Truidense won three of their last four, and scored in all games during that period, which makes another prediction highly probable. On this premise, you can also go for a BTTS market which has odds of 1.90 and a 53% probability.
Cercle Brugge vs Sint Truidense Lineups and Team News
Cercle Brugge
Cercle Brugge is currently ranked 10th. They harbour Championships playoffs ambition and this home game presents them with the perfect chance to do it. A win by at least two goals in this game should be enough to hand the hosts a place in the top 8. However, that would only happen if Anderlecht and Charleroi lose their next matches.
Cercle Brugge predicted lineup –Majecki, Popovic, Ravych, Deland, Somers, Der Bruggen, Francis, Siquet, Hotic, Ueda and Gboho.
Sint Truidense
At 42 points and two games to spare, Sint Truidense's results going forward would be about stabilizing their current standing in the Belgian Pro League. So, while they are 5 points shy of the Championship playoffs, the competition is very stiff at this stage of the season, so there is a high probability Sint Tridense will finish the season outside the top 10.
Sint Truidense predicted lineup –Schmidt, Hashioka, Smets, Taixeira, Bauer, Bocat, Okazaki, Reitz, Boya, Hayashi, and Bruno.
Player to Watch: Ayase Ueda
With Cercle Brugge aiming for a top 8 finish and two games to spare, their top scorer, Ayase should be a pivotal part of the squad that will face Sint Truidense on Saturday, 15th April 2023. Ayase Uedas scored in 4 of their last 6 Pro League games, a total of 6 goals. He is the team's top scorer, so because he is expected to start, he should equally be a top scoring prospect in this game.
