Cercle Brugge Favoured At Home Versus Antwerp

Cercle Brugge enter this fixture as slight favourites despite sitting 18th in the league after nine games. Antwerp have collected points from just two of their last five games following a run of three straight defeats. The home side have scored 1.0 goal per game at the Jan Breydel Stadion this season while failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their nine league matches. Antwerp’s away record shows 1.3 goals scored and 2.3 conceded on average with both teams finding the net in five of their nine outings. Head-to-head results favour the visitors historically with seven wins in the last ten but recent results point to a tight contest where Cercle can at least avoid defeat. Games involving these sides have produced three or more goals in six of Cercle’s nine matches and seven of Antwerp’s. The main risk lies in Antwerp’s ability to hit on the counter in an open game at the Jan Breydel Stadion.
