Cercle Brugge, Recent FormAny Cercle Brugge pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 away defeat by Kortrijk. They achieved 53% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Kortrijk's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Miron Muslic will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Jan Breydelstadion.
They have had a good run of form at Jan Breydelstadion recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Goalscorer Kévin Denkey will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Cercle Brugge.
Oud-Heverlee Leuven, Recent FormThe Oud-Heverlee Leuven players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Standard Liège recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. In that game they recorded 45 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 14 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 13 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been enduring a less than rewarding period of form away from home at the moment, during which they have lost 3 and only picked up 2 wins from their last 6 matches.
Jón Þorsteinsson will be hoping to create problems for Cercle Brugge in this one, having scored 4 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Oud-Heverlee Leuven.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
The OHL defence has struggled at Jan Breydelstadion, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits.
OH Leuven has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Cercle, being unable to find a win from any of their last 6 league meetings at Jan Breydelstadion.
Oud-Heverlee Leuven 2 - 3 Cercle BruggeThere is only really one injury concern for the Cercle manager Miron Muslic ahead of this clash, with Abu Francis (Meniscus) missing out, which gives Muslic a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Marc Brys has a number of injury concerns in his OH Leuven squad to contend with: Alexandro Calut (Knock), Mathieu Maertens (Hamstring), Nathan Opoku (Groin) and Federico Ricca (Hamstring)
