Cercle Brugge, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 away win over Gent in their last league game, Cercle Brugge will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 30% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Gent's tally of 20 efforts at goal, 10 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
It's been a mixed run of form for Cercle recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Having scored 6 goals in his last 6 league games for Cercle Brugge, Kévin Denkey will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Club Brugge, Recent FormIn their last match Club Brugge enforced their superiority over Eupen with a 4-0 home win. In that game they recorded 55 % of the possession, with 21 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 4 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 16 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They've scored in 22 of their 25 games this season.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
In front of goal, Igor Thiago has shown an impressive run of form over the last 6 league matches, managing to find the back of the net no less than 9 times in that run of games.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
Playing away from home, Brugge have conceded a goal in 3 of their last 3 league games against Cercle.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams have ended in a draw, but Brugge may still feel they have the upper hand, given they have not lost any of their last 3 league encounters with Cercle.
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.
Ronny Deila has a number of injury concerns in his Brugge squad to contend with: Joel Ordóñez (Hamstring), Chemsdine Talbi (Ligament) and Philip Zinckernagel (Ankle)
