Cercle Brugge won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 2-0 First Division A losing effort in their last game against RSC Anderlecht.

In that game, Cercle Brugge had 39% possession and 7 shots on goal with 2 on target. Anderlecht got 18 attempts at goal with 9 of them on target. Islam Slimani (9', 85') scored for RSC Anderlecht.

It’s not been often in recent games where Cercle Brugge haven’t conceded. In fact, Cercle Brugge have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 8 goals in the process. We will have to find out if that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Looking at their past form shows that Cercle Brugge:

  • have not emerged victorious against KRC Genk in their last 7 league matches.
  • are undefeated in their previous 5 home league matches.

Looking at the pre-match facts, KRC Genk:

  • are undefeated in their last 5 away league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Cercle Brugge

Edgaras Utkus (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Emilio Kehrer (Fractured Toe), Radoslaw Majecki (Chest injury) and David Sousa (Torn Meniscus) will not be taking part for Cercle Brugge boss Miron Muslic. Ineligible players who cannot play in this game through suspension are Leonardo Lopes and Kévin Denkey.

In our view, Groen en Zwart could employ a 3-4-2-1 system, handing starts to Warleson, Boris Popovic, Christiaan Ravych, Jesper Daland, Hugo Siquet, Olivier Deman, Abu Francis, H. van der, Thibo Somers, Yann Gboho and Ayase Ueda.

🗞️ Team News: Genk

Genk boss Wouter Vrancken has to currently contend with reduced team options. Adnane Abid (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Tolu Arokodare (Torn Meniscus) and Luca Oyen (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be making appearances. The players who will not be able to play in this game through being suspended are Matías Galarza and Carlos Cuesta.

We believe Blauw-Wit seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Maarten Vandevoordt, Daniel Munoz, Mujaid Sadick, Mark McKenzie, Gerardo Arteaga, Bryan Heynen, Patrik Hrosovsky, Joseph Paintsil, Bilal El Khannous, Mike Tresor and Mbwana Samatta.

💡 Prediction

Our assessment here is that Cercle Brugge might need a bit of good fortune to score goals against this KRC Genk lineup who we think might score & stay on top.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a 0-1 win for KRC Genk at the end of the match.

A close call.
