Our forecast for the upcoming Belgium Pro League game:

Genk

Genk

Cercle Brugge

Cercle Brugge

After securing a 3-0 victory against Antwerp, Genk hopes to continue their momentum as they face Cercle Brugge at Cegeka Arena in the first match of Saturday’s schedule. Toluwalase Arokodare, a forward from Nigeria, may earn a starting position after scoring two goals as a substitute in the previous game against the reigning champions. The home team does not have any new injury concerns.

However, Groen en Zwart are determined to recover from their 2-0 defeat against Anderlecht. Despite their inconsistent performances away from home, we anticipate that Genk will come out victorious in the upcoming match on Saturday. New addition Erick Nunes is expected to make his debut for Cercle Brugge against De Smurfen along with Felipe Augusto. Unfortunately, defender Hugo Siquet will likely be absent due to a hamstring injury. It should be mentioned that Genk previously defeated Cercle Brugge 1-0 with the help of Warleson’s own goal during the first half of the season.

The game is scheduled for 20/01/2024 at 4:00 PM.

Prediction:
2-1
