Cercle Brugge, Recent FormHaving secured a 2-0 away win against Eupen in their latest league match, Cercle Brugge will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. They came away from that fixture with 53% of the possession and clocked up 17 attempts on goal with 8 on target. By comparison, Eupen managed 12 attempts on goal, with 1 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
