Cercle Brugge vs Beerschot VA Prediction: Home team expected to end their season woes

In the Jupiler Pro League, Cercle Brugge will play Beerschot VA at Jan Breydel Stadium. Both teams are coming off a defeat. How will this game unfold?

Cercle Brugge are off a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Molde in their last game in the Europa League. In the meantime, their first two league games were against Westerlo and Kortrijk, which they lost 3-0 and 1-2. In the meantime, this team has just a record of one win in their last five matches, coming against Kilmarnock in the Europa League qualifier. Heading into this game, Cercle Brugge are seated 15th in the league standings, the only side alongside St. Truiden without a point this season. 

Beerschot VA held Leuven to a goalless draw in their opener but struggled in game two against Saint-Gilloise. This team could only score once in that last weekend's game through Charly Keita’s 48th-minute goal. However, Dennis Eckert Ayensa, Mac Allister, and Cameron Puertas netted for their opponent in a 3-1 encounter. Heading into this game, Beerschot VA have one win, three defeats, and one draw in their last five league games. 

Cercle Brugge have league experience, which should be the difference in this game. Beerschot VA, however, are working hard to secure their first league win of the season, having lost last weekend to Union Saint-Gilloise. Yet, the two teams have not shown character this season, but I see a slim win for Cercle Brugge at home in this one.
