Anderlecht, Recent FormThe Anderlecht players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Gent recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Gent's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Brian Riemer will be unhappy that his team have failed to keep a clean sheet in so many home games, having conceded in 12 of their 14 this season.
It's been a disappointing spell of home league form lately, having managed to rack up just 1 victory and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Anderlecht, Benito Raman will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Cercle Brugge, Recent FormHaving secured a 3-1 home win against RFC Seraing in their latest league match, Cercle Brugge will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. RFC Seraing had 3 shots on goal with 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels. 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.
There will be mixed feelings from Groen en Zwart, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
Ayase Ueda will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Cercle Brugge.
Anderlecht suffered the disappointment of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Cercle Brugge the last time they met in the league.
