Anderlecht vs Cercle Brugge Prediction and Betting Tips | April 24th 2024 

Anderlecht will host Cercle Brugge at the Lotto Park on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League Conference League playoffs.

The home side have enjoyed a largely solid campaign and continue their push for a first league title since the 2016-17 season. They were beaten 2-1 by Genk in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward a point following Anders Dreyer's leveler 15 minutes from normal time before their opponents reclaimed the lead from the spot in additional time.

Anderlecht sit atop the league table with 38 points from 34 matches. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this week.

Cercle Brugge, meanwhile, have endured a slow start to the playoffs although they remain hopeful of securing continental football. They were beaten 1-0 by defending champions Royal Antwerp in their last match, conceding the sole goal of the game midway through the second half as they fell to a fifth consecutive defeat at the hands of the Reds.

Anderlecht vs Cercle Brugge Prediction

Anderlecht have lost two of their last three games after losing just one of their previous 10. They have, however, lost just once on home turf all season and will be looking forward to the midweek clash.

Cercle's latest result ended a five-game unbeaten streak and they will be looking to bounce back here. They have performed well on the road of late but could see defeat against significantly stronger opposition on Wednesday.

Prediction: Anderlecht 2-0 Cercle Brugge
