Cercle Brugge host Anderlecht in the Pro League, with the home side still without a win this season, having picked up just 3 points from 7 matches to sit 17th, while the visitors are 5th with 13 points and are in good form after winning their last two league games without conceding. Cercle Brugge lost 2-3 in their most recent match and have not won any of their last five. Their attack creates chances but the defence concedes too easily. Anderlecht, meanwhile, have won two in a row, both by 3-0 scorelines, though their season average is only a goal per game and their defence is not especially tight either, scoring 7 and conceding 5 in 7 matches. This game is likely to see Anderlecht dominate the ball and push forward against a home side that sits deep and waits to counter, but with the visitors' defence not solid, Cercle Brugge playing at home and having counter-attacking moments should keep the game from ending in a rout, and there is a chance the hosts edge a draw or lose by just a single goal.
