Match preview
Cercle Brugge welcome Anderlecht for matchday eight of the Jupiler Pro League, with both clubs operating at opposite ends of the standings. The hosts sit seventeenth in the relegation zone, having endured a difficult start to the campaign that has left them winless through seven fixtures with three draws and four defeats.
Anderlecht arrive in fifth position on thirteen points, having secured four victories and conceded just five goals across their seven league encounters. While their home form has been strong, the visitors have found goals harder to come by on the road, netting just once across three away fixtures where they have picked up one win and two defeats.
Cercle Brugge have struggled at the back, shipping fourteen goals already and failing to keep a clean sheet this season. While Anderlecht must manage absences such as K. Sardella and G. Biancone, their solid defensive foundation should help them take something from a struggling home outfit.
