As you already know, many European football leagues are going on break this weekend, and one of them is Jupiler Pro League of Belgium. The last 90 minutes of the qualifying round for the playoffs of the UEFA Conference League will be played on Saturday.
The match between Cercle Brugge and Westerlo is without any result significance for both sides, but it is an opportunity for both teams to end the season in a dignified way and go on summer holidays. All this indicates that we can expect an interesting duel with a handful of chances and goals.
Cercle Brugge vs Westerlo Betting Tips: BTTS
The last duel of these rivals is a guarantee that the audience will have a good time on Saturday. The two teams met in the first week of May within the second round of the group stage of the playoffs for the UEFA Conference League. Then Cercle Brugge celebrated in an eight-goal thriller (5-3) and we hope that another crazy game awaits us!
After all, a cursory look at the previous clashes between Cercle and Westerlo also guarantees us a great game and a hot atmosphere at the “Jan Breydel Stadium”. Namely, both teams managed to get on the scoreboard in seven of the previous nine encounters, and the BTTS & Over 2.5 bet was winning on six occasions in that period.
By the way, the attacking segment of De Vereniging is in an extremely good mood. They have scored at least three goals in each of their last four triumphs and will no doubt stick to their attacking style again. Yet, there is a noticeable drop in concentration in the defensive line, as shown by the nine conceded goals from the last four games.
In contrast, Westerlo fell in a result fever with only one victory from the last nine Jupiler Pro League appearances. To make matters worse, their defense looks very vulnerable lately. They have allowed even 13 goals in the opening five rounds of the group stage and we strongly doubt that anything will improve on the last day of the season.
Not to forget that De Kemphanen have conceded 3+ goals in each of their last four defeats, while four of their last five games have contained BTTS & Over 2.5. Plus, Cercle’s recent games have been “eye salve”, finishing five of the last six with at least four goals. We think you have enough reasons to expect a real football spectacle here!

Meanwhile, Westerlo is facing a bigger personnel situation. Due to injuries, they will miss Ravil Tagir, Lucas Mineiro, Jan Bernat, including the attacking trio &— Kyan Vaesen, Erdon Daci and Igor Vetokele.
In that case, 20-year-old Dorgeles Nene (on loan from Red Bull Salzburg) should start again in the attack together with the Japanese Yusuke Matsuo.
