- Competition: Jupiler Pro League
- Date: Sunday, 28th July 2024
- Kickoff: 18:15 UK / 19:15 CEST
- Venue: Het Kuipje (Westerlo)
In both seasons, Westerlo returned to the strongest Belgium football league, finishing as a mid-table team. Most pundits who follow the Belgian Jupiler Pro League closely believe that Westerlo is again destined for a similar position. With two wins, one draw and one defeat, Westerlo showed a good level of football during preseason. In the previous game, they played 0-0 against Helmond. After a promising preseason, Westerlo now turns to the league competition, where in the first round, they will welcome Cercle Brugge.
The previous season was one of the best in Cercle Brugge's last few decades, as they finished fourth in the Championship group. It is hard to expect Miron Muslic's team to repeat such a season, especially as pundits see them as only a mid-table team for the upcoming year. Cercle Brugge started preseason with a win against AEK Larnaca, but after that came three games without a victory in a row. In the previous match, they played 1-1 against Kilmarnock.
Westerlo vs Cercle Brugge pick: Under 2.5 goals
Both teams showed a lack of attacking potential in the preseason. Westerlo scored only four goals in four matches, while Cercle Brugge scored five times in four games. We shouldn't see more than two goals in the upcoming tie between Westerlo and Cercle Brugge.

Westerlo team news
Westerlo is probably weaker than the previous season, as few important players left the team. On the other hand, Westerlo added on a permanent basis only Julian Placias, 18-years-old from North Carolina. However, big additions should be Luka Vuskovic and Emir Ortakaya, who will spend the next season on loan in Westerlo. We should expect more transfer moves from Westrerlo in the rest of the summer transfer window.

Cercle Brugge team news
Cercle Brugge are weaker than the previous season, too, as three very important players, Leonardo Lopes, Felix Lemarechal, and Hugo Siquet, left the team. This summer, the most important addition for Cercle Brugge is probably Bruno Goncalves, who is coming on loan from RB Bragantino. The other important signings are Nazinho (who came from Sporting B), Ibrahim Diakite (Reims), and Lawrence Agyekum (loan from RB Salzburg).
