Cercle Brugge aim to end their miserable home run when they welcome Antwerp, with the numbers paint a worrying picture for the hosts. As Antwerp have been having their ups and downs on the road, we predict a 2-2 draw. Cercle have collected just 0.20 points per game at home, failing to win any of their last five matches in front of their fans. Defensively they have been fragile at Jan Breydel, conceding 2.20 goals per home game, while their xGA sits at 1.82, suggesting their struggles are no coincidence. The positive is that they tend to compete in lively encounters—100% BTTS at home this season underlines their openness.
Antwerp, meanwhile, arrive with a far stronger away record, averaging 2.00 points per game on the road and keeping 67% clean sheets in away fixtures. Even with Rein Van Helden doubtful following a knock, the Reds remain more balanced and efficient, conceding only 0.33 away goals per match. Offensively, they produce enough danger, scoring in two of their three away outings and maintaining an overall 50% win rate this season.
Historically, Antwerp dominate this matchup, winning 14 of the last 23 meetings, which further strengthens their favourite status. As Cercle have 100% BTTS at home and Antwerp create goal-scoring opportunities regularly, Both Teams to Score is our main betting tip for this matchup, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 15:00.
