⭐ Editor's Pick
Both teams in the opening round clearly showed that their defensive lines are still far from ideal shape. Cercle Brugge at their home stadium traditionally play open and uncompromising football, forcing opponents to accept a high tempo. Sint-Truiden know how to make the most of positional attacks and will certainly get their chances in front of the hosts' goal. Opening matches of the season are often full of positional errors, which plays into the scoring potential of both sides. That's why we're backing total over 2.5 goals. A scoreline of 2:1 is possible.
