Cercle Brugge, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Cercle Brugge players having failed to take any points away from their recent 4-2 away defeat at the hands of Westerlo. During that encounter they had 52% possession and had 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 9 shots on goal.
Manager Miron Muslic will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
It's been a mixed run of form for Cercle recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Kévin Denkey will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Cercle Brugge's last 6 league games.
Sint-Truiden, Recent FormLast time out, Sint-Truiden recorded an impressive 4-1 home win against Gent. Their share of possession in that meeting was 69%, while racking up 22 shots along the way, 12 of which were on target. Gent had 4 shots on goal with 1 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Thorsten Fink 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 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. 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. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 6 draws in 11 away league games.
On an individual basis, Aboubakary Koïta is giving Sint-Truiden's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 4 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Sint-Truiden, losing 0-2 to Cercle Brugge.
In each of the previous 4 matches against Cercle, De Kanaries have let in at least one goal.
STVV will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 4 times they've faced Cercle in the league.
Kévin Denkey has scored in each of Cercle's last 2 league games against STVV.
Cercle manager Miron Muslic has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Abu Francis (Meniscus), Christiaan Ravych (Hamstring) and Hugo Siquet (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the STVV manager Thorsten Fink ahead of this clash, with Shinji Okazaki (Knee) missing out, which gives Fink a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
