In the first half, both teams went over 1.5 goals twice out of five, and in the second half, both teams went over 1.5 goals three out of five times. This suggests more scoring activity in the second half.

Zulte Waregem is vulnerable in the 31-45 (33%) minute interval, while Cercle Brugge often concedes in the 46-60 (29%) minute interval. The combination of frequent over 2.5 goal totals, solid average goals for both sides, and interval peaks suggest a bet on over 2.5 goals at 1.65. This choice is reinforced by both teams' recent tendency to avoid long low-scoring streaks, and their offensive stats suggest at least three goals.

Corner Totals Analysis

Zulte Waregem averages 3.2 corners in their last five matches, and Cercle Brugge averages 4.2. Both teams exceeded the 9.5 corner total twice in their last five games.

Cercle Brugge is favored to win the corner count with odds of 1.93. Given the average activity and frequency of exceeding the 9.5 total, a bet on over 9.5 corners is logical, although it's important to note that both teams don't often exceed this mark, and the match may see moderate corner activity.
