Cercle Brugge vs RSC Anderlecht

Cercle Brugge host Anderlecht at Jan Breydel on October 10, and the stakes are starkly different for each side. Anderlecht sit fifth with 13 points from seven games, chasing a top-half finish, while bottom-placed Cercle Brugge have just three points and urgently need a result. Cercle Brugge have gone winless in five straight league games, including losses to Gent, Lommel and Club Brugge, and haven't kept a clean sheet in eleven matches. Anderlecht look sturdier under Vitor Bruno, winning three of their last five, though Union Saint-Gilloise and Lyon both beat them recently. Keep an eye on Marten Winkler, Anderlecht's in-form attacker, and Ali Maamar, who leads the team for chances created. Historically Anderlecht dominate this fixture, winning 21 of 29 meetings to Cercle Brugge's six. Our prediction: 1-2
