Prediction: 1-1
Anderlecht
Cercle Brugge will try to extend their winning run to four games in all competitions when they face Anderlecht in the Jupiler League round 14. Cercle Brugge have found their form of late, but they face a tough challenge against the Belgian powerhouse. Togo international Ahoueke Denkey is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against Charleroi, while both Paris Brunner and Warleson remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to build on a splendid 4-0 win over Kortrijk. As Anderlecht have been scoring goals for fun of late, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. In their last meeting at Jan Breydel Stadion the two teams played out a 1-1 draw, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. Both Leander Dendoncker and Thorgan Hazard miss out with injuries, while experienced defender Jan Vertonghen is unlikely to be risked.
Highlighted Team (Anderlecht):
Founded on 27 May, 1908, Anderlecht are considered one of the oldest clubs in Belgium. The Paars-wit are the dominant force in the Belgian Pro League and in 2014 they won their 33rd domestic trophy. Anderlecht did remarkably well to win the UEFA Super Cup title in 1983, with the team defeating Benfica in the final of the competition.
The Belgian outfit recorded a 1-0 over the Eagles in the first leg, with the two teams playing out a 1-1 draw in the return leg. Anderlecht play their home games at Constant Vanden Stock Stadium, the venue that was opened in 1917. The stadium was renovated in 1983 and current capacity of Anderlecht’s home ground is 28 063.
The Paars-wit have long-standing rivalries with the likes of Standard Liege and Club Brugge, whilst FC Brussels were considered the club’s bitter opponents in the past. The likes of Besnik Hasi, Lucas Biglia, Filip De Wilde and Romelu Lukaku are some of Anderlecht’s notable players.
