Cercle Brugge KSV have surprisingly beaten Anderleсht in the last round, but mind that it was a home win and that the present Anderlecht are not what they used to be. The team dropped out of the top-three of the Belgian league and lost in 3 of 4 latest matches. Cercle Brugge take the 9th line in the standings. We may say it was Cercle’s luck to get points in the match versus the currently weak Anderlecht. Prior to this, the visiting side conceded to Charleroi and Royal Antwerp. In 9 outings, they’ve picked up only 6 points; in 4 of 5 latest travels, they’ve been losing; their away record counts only 1 win – the one against the leading Genk. So, Cercle Brugge seem really dangerous for the league toppers, having beaten Anderlecht and Genk. Gent, however, are not a topper, they are just a team who look to get into top-six of the national league.
Cercle Brugge play awkward in away matches, Gent are confident at home. Their head-to-heads’ record favors the ‘Buffalos’ – they drawed once and won 8 times in 10 last encounters. The 2 latest consecutive wins were by a margin of over 1 goal. Of 5 away losses, Cercle Brugge featured 4 by over 1 goal margin. Gent have won 5 home matches of 9, of which 3 were by a margin of over 1 goal as well. The home side will most likely win Cercle Brugge this time and will do it with confidence again.
Prediction for the match: Gent to win with -1.5 handicap.
