Cercle Brugge form and stats

Last season, Cercle's Belgian Cup journey ended in the 16th finals.

Cercle Brugge's results here at Jan Breydelstadion in the Pro League have been very modest with 3 victories, 0 draws and 10 defeats. With nine home Pro League games in a row without a win, the Cercle fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Gent game long ago, can be stopped today. Cercle Brugge has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager P. Clement and the players.

Cercle Brugge are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 242 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by A. Musaba).

In the game before, an away victory in the Belgian Cup match versus OH Leuven with a 3-2 scoreline.

Cercle has scored 18 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. Cercle have conceded 25 from these games.

KV Oostende form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Pro League travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats.

Preceding that game was the away Belgian Cup victory against Waasland-Beveren with the score of 3-2.

After this away game Oostende return home for a Pro League game against Genk. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Oostende have conceded 17 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
