Cercle Brugge and Antwerp go head-to-head at Jan Breydelstadion in what promises to be a tight Jupiler Pro League clash. The odds suggest a close contest, with Cercle Brugge at 2.4, a draw at 3.35, and Antwerp at 2.84. If you're looking for betting value, our AI strongly favors Under 3.5 goals at 1.3 odds, with a confidence of 6.0/10.

Why? Well, history tells us this could be a low-scoring affair. Their last meeting saw Antwerp edge out a 1-0 win, and our AI predicts a repeat of that defensive battle, forecasting a 0-0 final score. In fact, only 29.3% of Jupiler Pro League matches see more than 3.5 goals, making this bet statistically solid.

Possession is expected to be fairly balanced, with Antwerp holding 52% of the ball and Cercle Brugge at 48%. Both teams are projected to take a similar number of shots—13 for Cercle Brugge and 12 for Antwerp—but accuracy could be an issue. The AI expects just 4 shots on target for the home side and 5 for Antwerp, reinforcing the idea of a low-scoring battle.

Discipline could play a role, too. Antwerp is expected to pick up 3 yellow cards compared to just 1 for Cercle Brugge. If Antwerp gets too aggressive, they might struggle to break down the home side’s defense.

Looking at past results, Cercle Brugge pulled off a huge 1-3 away win against Union St. Gilloise earlier in the season at odds of 6.36, proving they can surprise. Meanwhile, Antwerp stunned Barcelona 3-2 in the Champions League, showing they can step up in big matches.

With 33.3% of Jupiler Pro League matches ending in a draw, our AI leans slightly toward a stalemate (X at 3.35 odds), but the safest bet remains Under 3.5 goals. Expect a tight, tactical battle—just don’t expect fireworks!
