Cercle Brugge vs KRC Genk Prediction and Betting Tips | March 17th 2023

Cercle Brugge play host to KRC Genk at the Jan Breydel Stadium as round 30 of the Swiss Super League gets underway on Friday.

The Blauw-Wit are unbeaten in their last seven games against the hosts and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Cercle Brugge failed to pick up successive wins last Sunday as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Anderlecht.

Prior to that, Miron Muslic’s side were on an eight-game unbeaten run, claiming three wins and five draws in that time.

With 40 points from 29 matches, Cercle Brugge are currently eighth in the Jupiler League table, one point above ninth-placed Anderlecht just outside the Championship round qualifying places.

Meanwhile, Genk continued to struggle for form as they suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of Union Saint-Gilloise in last weekend’s top-of-the-table clash.

The Blauw-Wit have now failed to win four of their last five league matches, picking up two draws and losing twice in that time.

For all their recent struggles, Genk currently sit at the top of the Super League table, five points above second-placed Union Saint-Gilloise.
