Club Brugge vs Cercle Brugge Prediction: Brugge eyes first win in a long time

Jan Breydel Stadium will host the Jupiler Pro League game between Club Brugge and Cercle Brugge. Let's preview this game and make a prediction. 

Club Brugge's last game was against fierce rival Anderlecht, and this team secured a vital 0-1 road win. In that game, Denis Odoi's strike in the 29th minute proved to be the difference. In the meantime, Club Brugge have played four consecutive matches without a defeat. In that run, they defeated Antwerp and drew Fiorentina and Union Saint-Gilloise. The hosts scored six goals in that run while conceding five.

Cercle Brugge will come into this game following a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Union Saint-Gilloise. However, the previous matches to that defeat saw Cercle Brugge defeat Genk and Antwerp while they drew Anderlecht. In those matches, Cercle Brugge scored eight goals while conceding four. In the meantime, Cercle Brugge accumulated 36 points in total and are positioned 5th spot in the standings. 

This match is more crucial for the visiting Cercle Brugge, given they have a shot at Europe if they win here. However, Club Brugge are on fire here, and with their level of play, I do not see them drop points. Also, while both teams have been good in front of the goal, we can expect a similar outcome in this game, too.
