Cercle Brugge's first home game here at Jan Breydelstadion ended with defeat. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from 15 matches. Problems are piling up for Cercle Brugge as they are struggling in their away games as well, taking their total losing streak to a running total of eight games. This streak could be one for the history books. The home stadium (Jan Breydelstadion) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Cercle Brugge it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Cercle Brugge lost their last game at KV Oostende after a 1-3 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against Standard Liege that was lost 0-2.
