Cercle Brugge vs GentPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Cercle Brugge are thirteenth in the Jupiler Pro League on 2 points from 4 matches played and are still without a win: 2 draws and 2 defeats, with 5 goals scored and 7 conceded. At the Jan Breydel Stadion the record reads 1 draw and 1 defeat from two games, with 3 goals for and 4 against, and their last two outings have both finished level after two defeats. Gent are third on 9 points from 3 matches, having won all of them, with 6 goals scored and only 2 conceded. They have played a single away game, won 2-1, while in their two home fixtures they scored 4 and conceded 1. The gap between the two positions is therefore a clear one, even if the season has only just started and the visitors have played one game fewer than the hosts. The Jupiler Pro League averages 3.33 goals per game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
