Cercle Brugge (home)
- Groen en Zwart have won none, tied one and lost two of their three home games in the Pro League 2026/2027.
- Lars Friis' men sit 17th in the table with just three points on the board.
- A home loss to Gent (0-3), an away draw with OH Leuven (1-1) and an away loss to Sporting Charleroi (3-2) are Cercle Brugge's last three results.
Anderlecht (away)
- Anderlecht have won one and lost two of their three Pro League 2026/2027 away games.
- The visitors are in much better shape than the hosts going into this matchup, having won three, tied one and lost one of their last five games, while Cercle Brugge have won none, tied one and lost four of their most recent five matches.
- Les Mauves are 5th in the same league with 13 points from seven games.
- The last three games for Vitor Bruno's men have been a 1-2 home defeat to Olympique Lyonnais in the UEFA Europa League - League Stage 2026/2027, a 3-0 victory at home to Zulte-Waregem and a 3-0 success at Stade de Reims in a friendly.
Head-to-Head
- Cercle Brugge KSV have failed to win their last two home games against Anderlecht.
- The recent head-to-head record certainly favours the visitors, with three wins for Anderlecht, one for Cercle Brugge and one tie from the last five meetings.
- Cercle Brugge did win 3-2 as away team in this fixture six months ago in the 2025/2026 First Division A.
Key Players
- Marten Winkler leads the scoring for Anderlecht in the Pro League 2026/2027 with two goals in four matches, but Tawfik Bentayeb has been a big boost for Les Mauves, scoring two of their five goals across the past five games.
- Groen en Zwart can be very dangerous going forward and play a three at the back shape, which allows their wing-backs to push on in possession and makes them very quick in the transitions.
Betting Insights
- These two styles can create a chess match, but there should be plenty of end-to-end flow to the game and both teams to score at 1.55 seems a very strong option.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.65 is also worth taking in a game that should produce some more goals.
Prediction
- And Anderlecht can't be anything other than slight favorites, although Cercle Brugge did win 3-2 as away team in this fixture six months ago in the 2025/2026 First Division A, so it is not a done deal for Les Mauves.
- With Cercle Brugge in a rough patch and Anderlecht coming off two wins, we feel the away side can get the job done on Saturday, although Cercle Brugge's upset win over Les Mauves six months ago keeps this from feeling like a sure thing and we will stick to a draw no bet selection.
