Antwerp vs Cercle Brugge Prediction: Expect goals in this game

Bosuilstadion will host the Jupiler Pro League encounter between Antwerp and Cercle Brugge. The last time out, the two teams secured a win. Which side extends that performance here? 

Antwerp extended their winning run the previous weekend against Beerschot, securing a 5-0 win. In that game, Tjarron Cherry scored a brace, while Jacob Ondrejka and Vincent Janssen also found the back of the net. With that win, Antwerp have a winning run of three matches while they remain unbeaten in their last four games. This season, the home team has accumulated 16 points from a possible 27, leaving them seated 2nd in the league’s log. 

Cercle Brugge played midweek and secured a 6-2 win in the Europa Conference League. In that game, Cercle Brugge took a 3-0 lead at halftime, with Ahoueke Steeve Kevin scoring twice, while Alan Minda also got on the scoreboard. In the meantime, Ahoueke Steeve Kevin scored his third of the day in the second half, while Gary Magnee also found the back of the twice. Heading into this game, Cercle Brugge have an unbeaten run of three matches, winning two and drawing one. This season, this team has 8 points from their first nine matches, leaving them seated 14th in the standings. 

The two teams are coming off an impressive performance and should approach this game with high attacking play. Antwerp have been impressive lately, and while Cercle Brugge have struggled lately, their last midweek win over St Gallen was surely a statement of what we could expect here. This should be tight, but Antwerp should win at home. However, with strong offensive play from both ends, a bet on goals is the best option.
