Gent, Recent FormThe Gent squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Anderlecht, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with 60% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Anderlecht managed 11 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Hein Vanhaezebrouck will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 18 games in a row, but they have conceded a goal in 10 of their 12 games at Ghelamco Arena this season.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Gent, Tarik Tissoudali will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Cercle Brugge, Recent FormWhen Cercle Brugge last played in the league they faced Sint-Truiden and produced an outstanding 4-1 home win. In that game they recorded 34 % of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 6 shots on goal.
Miron Muslic will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 11 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 9 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
In front of goal, Kévin Denkey has shown an impressive run of form over the last 6 league matches, managing to find the back of the net no less than 6 times in that run of games.
It was not a positive ending for Gent last time they met Cercle Brugge in the league, with the game ending in a 2-0 defeat.
The Groen en Zwart defence has struggled at Ghelamco Arena, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 8 visits.
Cercle has won the last 3 games they've played against Gent in the league.
Kévin Denkey is on a hot scoring streak against Gent, having scored in each of Cercle's last 0 meetings with them.
Gent 2 - 0 Cercle BruggeGent manager Hein Vanhaezebrouck has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Núrio Fortuna (Unknown), Andrew Hjulsager (Knock), Paul Nardi (Broken ankle) and Davy Roef (Strain) are all currently out of contention for this game.
