Anderlecht are heading into what’s surely be a challenge. Cercle Brugge are not to be taken lightly and an away victory would certainly be a big success for the visitors.

Anderlecht gave the fans at their home stadium quite a show in their previous game against Cercle Brugge, snagging a decisive 3:0 victory. The victory itself was somewhat predictable, but the first-half lead and notable lead speaks volumes about their form.

Cercle Brugge’s recent Pro League away games were marked by a lot of concessions – 6 over the last 3 matches, to be exact. Therefore, betting on goals might be a fairly reasonable option here.

Anderlecht don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.
