Club Brugge vs Cercle Brugge Prediction: Goals will fly in here

This round 14 encounter between Club Brugge and Cercle Brugge will take place at the Jan Breydel Stadium in Brugge, Belgium. The most recent match between these two teams ended in a tie, with the score reading 2-2. However, what do you anticipate the outcome of this match will be? 

Club Brugge will be hoping for a victory similar to the Conference League match they had against Lugano, in which they won 2-0. Igor Thiago scored the first goal for Club Brugge in the 62nd minute, while Hans Vanaken scored the second goal in the 96th minute. The Club Brugge squad, managed by Ronny Deila, has scored 13 goals throughout their last six matches. At the other end of the field, the total number of goals that have been scored against them in those same games is currently 5. When looking at their prior results, it can be seen that Club Brugge have not been defeated in the league by Cercle Brugge in their most recent two matches. In addition to this, the host club has not suffered a loss in any of their previous 17 league matches played at home.

Cercle Brugge and their supporters who traveled with them will be hoping for a better outcome here after suffering a loss in their most recent First Division A contest, which was played against Anderlecht and which was played away from home. During that game, Cercle Brugge held 47% of the possession and had 16 shots on goal, with only 2 of them finding the target. Anderlecht, the team that they were playing against, had 7 shots on goal, with 5 of them landing in the target area. Kasper Dolberg scored Anderlecht's first goal in the 37th minute, and Anders Dreyer and Mario Stroeykens added goals in the 40th and 59th minutes, respectively. The most recent six matches that Cercle Brugge have participated in have resulted in ten goals for the team. They have also had a total of nine goals scored against them in those matches. Ahead of this matchup, Cercle Brugge have not prevailed over Club Brugge in any of the previous nine league games that were held away from their home stadium.

These are two offensively talented teams, and based on what we've seen from both of them in the past, I anticipate that there will be a lot of goals scored in this match. In addition, considering that Club Brugge will be playing on their own grounds, I anticipate that they will win.
