Cercle Brugge, Recent FormCercle Brugge had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 0-0 draw against Oud-Heverlee Leuven. Their share of possession in that meeting was 44%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Oud-Heverlee Leuven, who had 7 shots on goal with 1 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Miron Muslic will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. Muslic will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 10 games in a row.
Having managed to remain undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches at Jan Breydelstadion, they have put together a strong home record of late, winning 3 of these games too.
On an individual basis, Ayase Ueda will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Jan Breydelstadion having scored 5 goals in Cercle Brugge's last 6 home games in the league.
Club Brugge, Recent FormIt's fair to say Club Brugge will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Union Saint-Gilloise, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Union Saint-Gilloise's tally of 19 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Club Brugge, Hans Vanaken will be looking to add more goals against Cercle Brugge in this match.
After a good 4-0 win for Club Brugge in this pair's last league encounter, Cercle Brugge will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Playing away from home, Brugge have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Cercle.
Cercle manager Miron Muslic has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Leo Lopes (Unknown), Senna Miangué (Unknown), David Sousa (Unknown) and Edgaras Utkus (Meniscus) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Ferrán Jutglà (Back) and Andreas Skov Olsen (Hip) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Scott Parker will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
