Cercle Brugge vs Olympique Charleroi: Belgian Cup Match Prediction
In one of the matches of the 1/16 finals of the Belgian Cup, Cercle Brugge will host Olympique Charleroi on its home field. In terms of the level of players, the guests are very far from the hosts. Will the outsider be able to impose at least some kind of fight on the Conference League participant? Who will advance to the next stage of the cup on October 31? The answer is in our forecast for this match.
Command Analysis
Cercle Brugge
BelgiumCurrent form
Cercle Brugge managed to take fourth place at the end of last season, but the start of the current championship draw is extremely difficult for the home team. The team is in the penultimate place in the standings, having only 12 points after 12 matches. Perhaps the results were affected by the workload in the European Cups. The team managed to reach the main stage of the Conference League, beating Krakow Wisla in the final round of selection (6:1 and 1:4). In the group tournament, the club from Brugge began with a confident victory over St. Gallen (6:2), but in the second round unexpectedly lost to Icelandic Vikingur (1:3). But in the last round of the championship, they managed to achieve a long-awaited victory - Myron Muslich team beat another participant in the European Cups, Union Saint-Gillois (3:1), on the road.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with their squad before the cup match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not lost at home for four matches in a row.
- The club has won only one of its last four matches.

Olympique Charleroi plays in the first National Division of Belgium, which is semi-professional in status. Last season the team failed to fight for promotion, finishing in tenth place, but now the club is at the top of the table and is racing towards the championship at full speed. In 10 matches they managed to score 26 goals, although no one else even reached the 20-goal mark. Olympique has already managed to overcome three rounds in the cup, beating Hebei La Nueve (2:0), Turkse Rangers (4:0) and Knokke (5:3).

2.12Tip and bets
The hosts have a huge advantage in class and are unlikely to miss out on victory in the upcoming match. The visitors are performing well in their division, but we do not think that they will be able to fight off a participant of the Premier League and Conference League. Any result other than a big victory for the hosts will be considered a sensation. Most likely, Cercle Brugge will have no problems with reaching the next round.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) on Cercle Brugge for 1.95
Bet on total
Cercle Brugge have played many productive matches this season and the third division club will surely suffer greatly at the hands of the hosts. We believe that the visitors are unlikely to leave the field without a goal, because the hosts are not perfect in defense, to put it mildly. We suggest betting on the match being spectacular.
Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 1.60
Bet on the first half
Cercle Brugge will certainly try to gain an advantage in the score as quickly as possible, and Olympique will hardly be able to prevent the hosts from achieving their goal. We think that by the break the hosts will confidently lead the score.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Cercle Brugge in the first half with odds of 1.80
