O. Ljubljana vs Cercle Brugge KSV Prediction & Betting Tips (12 December)

Nice surprise in this Conference League for the moment, Olimpija now occupies 7th place in the standings with the same number of points as 9th, which will have to go through the play-offs. Beaten in Heidenheim for their entry into the competition 2-1, the Ljubljana-based team then had three successes against LASK Linz 2-0, HJK 0-2 and the red lantern Larne during the last day 1-0. In the championship, the Slovenes are in a good position to win the title this season. Leaders with 8 points ahead of their runner-up, they have lined up 6 matches without a loss, 5 victories and 1 draw before traveling to Bravo last weekend. Cercle Bruges is currently 11th in this Conference League and concedes 2 units of disbursement on 8th place, last folding seat directly qualifying for the 8th finals. Kevin Denkey's teammates may regret having lost on the Vikingur pitch during the 2nd day 3-1.

Otherwise, they drew at LASK Linz 0-0 and otherwise benefited from the support of their supporters to dominate St. Gallen 6-2 and Hearts two weeks ago 2-0. On the national scene, the Belgians are not meeting expectations at all this season. They now occupy a worrying 15th and penultimate place in the rankings. On the tough side, Cercle Bruges suffered 3 losses in a row against Anderlecht, Standard de Liège and Beerschot before hosting Union Saint-Gilloise last weekend.

For Olimpija Ljubljana, Brazilian striker Schwaizer (2 goals in the league) has not recovered from his injury. However, no other absences are to be deplored this week. On the attacking front, Florucz should take his place (6 goals and 4 assists in the league, 2 assists in C4) who is the main offensive asset of Olimpija. Coming into play during the last Europa League match, Durdov (4 goals and 2 assists in the league) scored the winning goal against Larne. Cercle Bruges still cannot count on number 1 goalkeeper Warleson, who is injured.

On the other hand, Togolese striker Denkey (9 goals in the league, 3 goals and 3 assists in C4) is back from suspension and should obviously be started this week. The future Cincinnati player is the club's undisputed top scorer since the start of the season. The left piston Magnee (3 goals in C4) also stands out on the European scene.
