Cercle Brugge KSV hosts Oostende in the Belgian Cup 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 9th at Jan Breydel Stadion (Brugge)
Cercle Brugge is one of the worst teams in the Belgian championship. Lately, it has earned points only in away matches. At home, this team has been losing since November 2020, but most often it does not leave the field without a goal scored. In the previous stages, Cercle Brugge knocked out a difficult opponent (Oud-Heverlee Leuven) with a 2-3 score. Of course, the Green-and-Blacks will want to gain a positive result after a 0-1 home defeat to Mechelen, especially since there are very few hopes that they will remain in the Premier League. Therefore, they will want to please the fans with a good attacking game.

Oostende shows unexpectedly high performance in the current season – the team is taking 4th place in the standings and is fighting for getting into the Europa League. In this regard, there will be changes in the squad, and the coach will field those players who received a little playing time or recovered from injuries. Oostende does not sit back on heels, so its games often end in goal extravaganza. At the previous cup stage, the Yellow-Reds eliminated the neighbor of today's rival, Waasland-Beveren (3-2). And I think that it is worth waiting for an exchange of goals in the upcoming match.
Cercle Brugge will want to advance as far as possible and will probably manage to score against the half-reserve lineup of Oostende. Previously, the hosts managed to upset the goalkeeper of strong Leuven three times, so we expect them to score goals in the upcoming game. And the recent matches of the visitors show that they are imperfect in defense and slightly stronger in attacking terms. Therefore, I recommend betting on an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
