The most striking statistic in this matchup is that Cercle Brugge have not won any of their 3 league games this season (2 draws, 1 loss), yet the odds favor them by 1 goal, and the total goals line has been lowered from 3.25 to 3 — the market seems to believe that the home side will take the game to the newly promoted visitors. However, Lommel SK's recent form is not bad either (2 wins in their last 5 games, including a 4-0 thrashing in their most recent match). What keeps this angle viable is that Cercle Brugge score the most goals in the latter part of the first half (23% of all their goals), while Lommel SK concede the most in the same period (21%) — this is where the home side is likely to break through, and if they score before halftime, the game should open up more, which suits Cercle Brugge's attack that just scored 3 goals in a 3-3 draw. The data may be thin because only 3 games have been played, but the direction from the odds and goal timing points the same way.
