Club Brugge KV

vs

Cercle Brugge KSV

Preview

Club Brugge (home)

• Club Brugge KV have won six points from their first two games to sit top of the Pro League 2026/2027 table, a strong start to the campaign that suggests Blauw-Zwart are in the running to retain their Belgian title this season.
• Club Brugge have won their opening two Pro League 2026/2027 matches, beating KV Kortrijk 3-0 on the road and Oud-Heverlee Leuven by the same scoreline at home, and Ivan Leko's team look to be in the habit of getting the job done right now.

Cercle Brugge (away)

• Cercle Brugge KSV sit 11th in the Pro League 2026/2027 with two points from their opening two matches and arrive at Jan Breydel Stadion as the clear underdogs for Sunday's derby meeting with their West Flemish rivals.
• Lars Friis' men have drawn three, two of them away, in a row after a 2-2 draw with AS Monaco away, followed by a 2-2 away draw with Standard Liege and a wild 3-3 tie at home with K. Sint-Truidense last time out.
• Cercle have been pressing the ball high up the field and playing fast and direct, looking to counter-press and force errors in transition when the opposition try to build from the back, and this shape will certainly get in the way of Club Brugge's build-up play on Sunday.
