Big strength gap makes Club Brugge KV clear favourites — We give Club Brugge KV 91% mainly because they sit 484 points higher on our strength rating, 1839 to 1355, and this cup tie across divisions adds to that edge over Lokeren-Temse. The draw starts at 8%, the usual rate for a gap this size, and falls to 6% because of the cup setting and the high-scoring recent games of both sides.
