Anderlecht vs Cercle Brugge Predictions

• Anderlecht have won seven and drawn two of their nine home games in the league
• Cercle Brugge have lost eight of their 19 games in the Pro League
• Both teams have found the net in 15 of Anderlecht’s last 16 league matches

Hosts’ home record key

Anderlecht are eight points behind Union Saint Gilloise in the Belgian title race and need to beat the likes of Cercle Brugge at home if they are to top the table.

The hosts have been rock solid in their own back yard this season, winning seven and drawing two, and they should be able to add to that tally against these opponents.

The visitors have lost eight of their 19 league games this term, including a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Anderlecht in November.

Cercle Brugge have struggled to find the net this season compared to the teams around them, netting 25 times, and they have been over reliant on the goals of Kevin Denkey, who has scored 15 of those.

Anderlecht have drawn three of their last six and need to start converting those stalemates into victories if they are to chase down Union SG.

They should be able to do so against a midtable Brugge outfit that have lost four times already on the road this season.

Both teams have scored in 15 of Anderlecht’s last 16 games however so don’t discount the visitors getting on the scoresheet, correct score backers may consider a 2-1 win for the home team.
