Personal take: Both outfits’ve got holes. AS Monaco’s midfield’s sputtering, while Cercle Brugge’s forwards lacks a cutting edge.
When it comes to the Club Friendly Games, this game carries extra weight. The competition’s race for continental qualification means every outcome counts, and both sides know a statement win here could alter trajectories in the standings.

Cercle Brugge’s 125 line tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
