Anderlecht, Recent FormAnderlecht will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against Genk. They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Genk's tally of 19 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Manager Brian Riemer will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They've conceded a goal in each of their last 8 home games; however, overall they've scored in 18 of their 19 games this season.
They have been performing well at Lotto Park recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.
Anders Dreyer will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Lotto Park, having notched up 7 goals for Anderlecht in their last 6 league matches at home.
Cercle Brugge, Recent FormIn their last match Cercle Brugge enforced their superiority over Kortrijk with a 3-0 home win. In that game they had 61% possession and managed 24 attempts on goal, with 13 on target, compared to Kortrijk who had 6 attempts and 1 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. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, and overall this season they have recorded 8 clean sheets in 19 games.
With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.
On an individual basis, Kévin Denkey is giving Cercle Brugge's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 5 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Cercle Brugge will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Anderlecht, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 0-3 defeat.
On each of the last 2 outings between Cercle and Anderlecht in the league, Groen en Zwart have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals.
Anderlecht has won the last 2 games they've played against Cercle in the league.
