Season ticket holders at Jan Breydelstadion haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Cercle Brugge languishing in the 17th position so far. The guesting Standard Liège will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Cercle Brugge is in the worst form (0-0-6)
- Standard Liège have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Pro League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Beerschot-Wilrijk.
Cercle Brugge form and stats
With 3 Pro League wins, 0 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Cercle Brugge are certainly not brimming with confidence. Problems are piling up for Cercle 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. It's been an uphill battle for Cercle Brugge in their home games for quite some time now, as six matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Gent game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
Cercle Brugge are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Beerschot-Wilrijk. Ahead of that match, Cercle lost 1-2 at home to AS Eupen.
Cercle are traveling soon after this match as the Pro League match at Antwerp awaits in three days.
A decent goal production from Cercle in their home games so far, with 17 goals from 10 league matches. Cercle are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (21 from 10 played).
Standard Liège form and stats
The visitors are W3-D2-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Pro League. Standard has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Selim Amallah (2) and Merveille Bokadi scored in Standard Liège's previous match, the home game against Waasland-Beveren that ended 3-1. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Sint-Truiden.
Standard Liège has another fixture away, a Pro League game, against Mechelen in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Standard have scored 10 goals in 9 league games away. Standard have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
