Prediction for the match between Gent and Cercle Brugge, which will take place on December 20. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Before the break caused by the World Cup in Qatar, Gent had a seven-match unbeaten streak in three tournaments. And in the first half of December, the future hosts played two friendly matches against amateurs (5:0) and the Dutch Heerenveen (4:1). It should be recalled that Gent occupies the fifth place in the Belgian championship standings with an asset of 30 points, which is three points less than Bruges, which is located in the top four. Gent is one of the best clubs in the Belgian elite, has the third-highest score in the division in possession, the second-highest number of aerial challenge won, the third-highest in shots per game, and the fourth-highest average rating. On the home field, Gent has a 5-match winning streak, including a victory over direct rival in the Belgian championship, Bruges.

During the break, Cercle Brugge did not play friendly matches; the last time we saw the future guests on the field was on November 12 in the game against Sint-Truiden, won by Cercle Brugge with a score of 1:0. In general, the future guests have an unbeaten streak of seven consecutive matches. Cercle Brugge has a three-match unbeaten streak: a 1:1 draw with Kortrijk and victories over Seraing and St. Truiden. Cercle Brugge is ninth in the Belgian league standings, behind Heverly Leuven, who are in eighth place on the secondary side. The team's away statistics are 11th in the top Belgian division, +3=1-5, 9:16 goal difference.

Belgian soccer is as productive as the confrontation between Gent and Cercle Brugge; for example, in the two games between our teams in 2022, there has always been a TO (3.5). Cup matches differ from championship games because top games in cup tournaments are not so common. However, our game will please the audience with at least three goals. Moreover, after the pause caused by the World Cup, both the audience and the players missed the official matches.

As for the outcome, we are on the side of the future home team. They have good home statistics and a decent winning streak. In addition, unlike Cercle Brugge, the Gent players had two friendly matches before the resumption of the national championship, in which they won two very convincing victories. We believe the Buffaloes have an excellent chance to beat their opponent in a productive game.
