Cercle Brugge KSV vs Charleroi Prediction & Tips
The Jan Breydel Stadion in Brugge will be the setting for the match of the 2nd day of the Jupiler Pro League in Belgium on Saturday August 5, 2023, with kick-off scheduled for 6.15pm. The match in question pits Cercle Bruges against Charleroi. Cercle finished last season in 6th place, just missing out on the final continental berth via the play-offs. The summer campaign, which was supposed to revitalize the team, failed to produce the expected results, with 2 defeats in 4 games, including a 7-2 defeat by LOSC. This last friendly match undoubtedly left its mark on the local players, as they lost again last weekend in their opening game at Antwerp, 1-0. Charleroi, meanwhile, finished in 9th place, just outside the play-offs, which they didn’t even contest, and the gap with 8th-placed Cercle Bruges was just 2 points – something for the visitors to regret. Charleroi kicked off their league campaign with a 1-1 draw at home to Leuven, in a game that went badly wrong: after a quick opening goal (9th), Charleroi took a red card after the quarter-hour mark, only to see their opponents pull a goal back late on (83rd minute) from the penalty spot.on
