Command Analysis

Olimpija Ljubljana

Current form

Olimpija is achieving success on two fronts at once. In the Slovenian championship, the club is in first place, ahead of its closest competitors by six points, and in the Conference League, the team from Ljubljana is in the top eight. If it manages to stay in this zone, the Slovenian club will immediately reach the 1/8 finals of the European tournament. It is worth noting that the Slovenians were largely lucky with the schedule. After losing in the first round to German Heidenheim, the hosts had no problems with Austrian LASK (2:0), Finnish HJK (2:0) and Northern Irish Larne (1:0). All the opponents they beat are not even in the top thirty.

Disqualifications and injuries

Pedro Lucas Schweitzer will miss the fight due to a knee injury.

Interesting trends for betting

The team has won three of its last four matches.
The hosts have not lost for 11 matches in a row

Tentative line-up: Vidovshek - Silva, Ratnik, Ristic, Muhamedbegovic, Sualeje - Florukz, Talisson, Doffo, Blanco - Brest.

Cercle Brugge

Current form

Cercle Brugge is clearly failing this season in the Belgian championship. Last season they managed to get a ticket to the European Cups, and now the visitors are in the penultimate place and could be relegated if they do not pull themselves together. The club recently relegated from the cup, losing to Sint-Truiden (0:1). In the last rounds of the championship, the team lost to the main outsider, Beerschot (2:3), and played a draw with Union (0:0). It is noteworthy that in all three matches, Cercle Brugge players received a red card.

Things are going a little better in the Conference League. They managed to beat the Swiss St. Gallen (6:2) and secure a confident victory over Hearts (2:0). The match with the Austrian LASK ended in a goalless draw, and the Belgians suffered their only defeat against the Icelandic Vikingur (1:3).

Disqualifications and injuries

The visitors still have Bruninho and Nasinho in the infirmary, while Gomis, Ouattara and Varleson are in doubt.

Interesting trends for betting

The visitors have had red cards in their last three matches
The team has won only one of its last six matches.

Probable lineup: Delange - Kaku, Francis, Diakite - Magni, Agikum, van der Bruggen, Eric - Somers - Minda, Denki

Tip and bets

TipCercle Brugge will not lose

1.75

The hosts are showing excellent results, but it is worth considering that the level of resistance in the Slovenian championship is much lower than in Belgium, and in the Conference League the Slovenians have beaten only completely hopeless outsiders - LASK, HJK and Larn. The guests are not achieving success in their league, but in the Conference League they are performing much better and can easily score points in Ljubljana.

Our prediction is Cercle Brugge not to lose at 1.75

Will the prediction win?

Tiptotal under 2.5 goals

1.73

Bet on total

The hosts' defensive play can be called close to exemplary - only one goal conceded in seven matches. The guests have a mirror image - they have great difficulty scoring goals and sometimes they play entire series of matches without a single goal. Considering the teams' style of play, we recommend betting on the total under.

Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.73

Bet on corners

The opponents are clearly not among the most productive teams in the Conference League, and will probably try to achieve success through competent play at their goal. We believe that this is unlikely to lead to a large number of corners.

Our prediction is under 9.5 corners for 1.90

Will the prediction win?
