Cercle Brugge KSV hosts Kortrijk in round 4 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Saturday, August 29th at Jan Breydel Stadion (Brugge)
Cercle Brugge had an unexpectedly successful visit to Mechelen, where it defeated the local team with a 3-2 score, thanks to an excellent game in the second half and the winning goal scored by Sommers who appeared from the bench. Two victories in a row are a surprising result for the farm club of Monaco because it changed not only a coach but also 70 percent of the squad. Nevertheless, Clement found contact with the team, and the players do not let their mentor down. The team plays attacking football, and it will control the game in the upcoming meeting. Only Van Damme will not be able to help the team due to the injury.

Kortrijk managed to scratch out a draw in the home match with Eupen, but the visitors had a complete advantage in terms of attempts. A large number of injuries influenced the hosts' game, but if it were not for the large number of saves of the Slovak goalkeeper Jakubec, then Kortrijk would not score even one point in that match. Nevertheless, Vandehaege's men like to play defense first this season (remember the 2-1 victory over Gent away), while the hosts have problems with the reliability of their rear, so the Reds should take advantage of it. However, it will also be difficult to keep a clean sheet with such problems in the squad. Jonckheere, Moffi, Stojanovic, De’Haene, and De Sart will not be able to help the visitors in this match.
Not so long ago, namely a month and a half ago, the teams played a friendly match, and Cercle Brugge gained a minimal victory. At this point, Cercle's problems in defense are in favor of “Both teams to score – yes” - the team attacks a lot and scores, but concedes in every championship match. The visitors have serious problems with the squad and the infirmary, although they are capable of playing quite well on counterattacks and repeating the plan as in the match with Gent. I think both teams will manage to score in this meeting.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
