Cercle Brugge form and stats
Cercle Brugge have played three Pro League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Cercle are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Jan Breydelstadion, having lost their two previous games here.
It's back home for Cercle, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Zulte-Waregem away with the result 4-2. Álex Millán (2), Vitinho and Dino Hotić found the net in that victory. Midfield player Vitinho got a match rating of 7.84 in that game, the max score being 10. Vitinho scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass. The game against Zulte-Waregem had lots of late drama as Cercle Brugge came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through Dino Hotić's goal in the 90th minute. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting RFC Seraing (1-2).The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Cercle have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won one, drawn two and lost four.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Cercle here at Jan Breydelstadion in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Cercle's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
AS Eupen form and stats
The seven points AS Eupen have gathered from their first three away trips in the Pro League is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Eupen love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Home advantage was not enough for Eupen in their previous game, as they lost their Pro League-match, hosting Antwerp, 0-1. Robin Himmelmann (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.8. Himmelmann saved a penalty and stopped the opponent with five saves.
The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against RFC Seraing.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by AS Eupen in our archives, and the results are: three wins for AS Eupen, one draw and one defeat.
