A month ago, Cercle Brugge narrowly defeated Wisla Krakow in the Conference League. After a remarkable 6-1 away victory, they relaxed at home and suffered a 1-4 defeat. Nevertheless, the Green and Black have advanced to the main tournament, where they will soon face St. Gallen. However, their league performance has clearly taken a hit.

2.25Tip and bets
The home team is clearly out of place in the standings. Last season, they finished in the top five, but now they find themselves in the relegation zone. At the start of the season, the club faced several strong opponents, impacting their current position significantly. We believe that in the match against the less skilled Sint-Truiden, the hosts will secure three points.
Our prediction is a victory for Cercle Brugge at 1.68
Betting on Total Goals
Cercle Brugge recently secured a win against a solid Gent team and will likely aim to build on that success with an aggressive offensive performance. Sint-Truiden's defense is quite vulnerable and unlikely to hold strong, however, the Canaries are expected to take risks, which sets the stage for a high-scoring encounter.
Recommended bet – total goals over 2.5. This outcome is available at odds of 1.65.
Betting on Corners
Cercle Brugge is the favorite and is expected to dominate possession throughout the match – they should comfortably lead in corner kicks.
Recommended bet – Asian handicap (-2.5) on corners for Cercle Brugge. This bet is offered at 1.96.
