After the minimal loss away with 0:1, Anorthosis is ready to come out today against Cercle Bruges and try to beat them in order to advance in the next stage of Europa League.
The team was in similar situation, last round, where they have lost the first game with 0:2, but they were able to win away with 3:0 and advance.
Meanwhile, Cercle Bruges had similar expirience, loosing the first game at home with 0:1 and winning the second one away with 2:1.
In the past 10 games, Anothosis has 4 losses, 4 wins and 2 draw games, while Cercle Bruges has 3 losses, 4 wins and 3 draws, so the stats for both teams are pretty much similar.
What’s expected to happen in this game?
Anorthosis is very determined to get in the groups of Europa League this year, and will do everything possible to achieve that. I am expecting an early goal, to make the game a lot easier for them and calm them a bit.
Meanwhile, Cercle understands the power of a goal away and how much harder would be for Anothosis to come back in the game if they score first. I am expecting them to go for the fist goal as well.
The Betting Verdict?
Backing “Both Teams To Score” @ 1.90 (Bet365.com): Due to the outcome of the first game, both teams will be looking for the goal. This will weaken the defense and give more opportunities for each team to score. I believe both teams will take advantage of that and will be able to make the most of it.
