Cercle Brugge vs Anderlecht Predictions and Betting Tips | November 10th 2024

Cercle Brugge will host Anderlecht at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The hosts have struggled to find a consistent run of form in the league all season, sitting 12th in the table, a long way off from Championship Round qualification which they achieved last season. They will be looking to improve their chances of finishing in the top five this weekend.

Cercle's most recent league outing saw them secure back-to-back league victories for the first time this season after their impressive 3-1 win over a wayward Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in the 12th round was followed by a 2-0 home win over Charleroi last weekend.

Anderlecht have also struggled to put together a string of good performances in the league all season, with their assertive 4-0 victory over KV Kortrijk last weekend marking just their third win in their last 10 league games. The game also marked their first league victory since David Hubert was made the permanent head coach in October.

Cercle Brugge vs Anderlecht Prediction

Cercle have won three of their last four games after winning just two of their previous 10. They are undefeated in their last six home matches, picking up four wins and two draws and will be hopeful of a positive result here.

Anderlecht have lost two of their last three league games and have won just twice in the competition since the start of September. They are, however, the stronger side ahead of the weekend clash and should have enough to win when they travel to face Cercle Brugge this weekend.

Prediction: Cercle Brugge 1-2 Anderlecht
