Prediction: 3-1
Cercle Brugge
All eyes will be on Jan Breydel Stadion when Club Brugge and Cercle Brugge face each other in the local derby. The title holders kicked off the new Jupiler League campaign with a slim 2-2 draw with Eupen, with the team beating St. Gilloise thanks to Sobol’s late goal at the weekend. All Sobol, Vanaken, and Mitrovic are pushing for a start, while experienced attacker Bas Dost is likely to lead the line for the hosts.
Cercle Brugge aim to remain undefeated in the 2021/22 season, but they will have a big fish to fry in Friday’s local derby. Club Brugge emerged triumphant in each of the previous five meetings with Cercle Brugge, and we do not believe that the visitors are capable of putting an end to the negative trend. Both David and Miangue are injured for the visitors, while Rubio is pushing for a start after finding the net in the draw with Leuven.
Highlighted Player (Simon Mignolet):
Simon Luc Hildebert Mignolet is a Belgium goalkeeper born on 6 March 1988 in Sint-Truiden. He began his career in a club from his hometown, making 100 league appearances for Sint-Truidense before moving to Sunderland in 2010.
Mignolet would go on to spent next four years at the Stadium of Light, making 90 Premier League appearances. As one of world’s most talented goalkeepers, the Belgium international signed for Liverpool in the summer of 2013, and he has since been the club’s first choice goalkeeper. Performing admirably most of the time, but also committing cheap mistakes at times, Mignolet has yet to win over the Liverpool fans, but remains highly regarded in his native country.
The talented shot-stopper has been a member of the Belgium national team since 2011, earning over 20 caps for the Red Devils, but he has been playing second fiddle to Chelsea star Thibaut Courtois over the last few years.
