Cercle Brugge vs Antwerp Prediction: Can Antwerp move close to the top spots?

Cercle Brugge and Antwerp will square it off at Jan Breydel Stadium in round 28 of the Jupiler Pro League. The two teams drew a draw in their last league game. Which team wins here? I will preview this game and offer a prediction. 

Cercle Brugge

Cercle Brugge played Kortrijk the previous time out and they settled for a draw. In a game that ended 1-1, Cercle Brugge needed an 89th-minute Paris Brunner strike to avoid a defeat after having gone behind before the break. However, Cercle Brugge have lost only one of their last thirteen matches, coming against Genk. In other matches, Cercle Brugge defeated Dender, KV Mechelen, and Leuven. In their last home matches, Cercle Brugge have an unbeaten run of six games. With 31 points, Cercle Brugge are seated 12th in the standings, scoring 28 goals and conceding 38. 

Antwerp

Antwerp played Leuven in their last league game and settled for a draw. In a game that ended 2-2, second-half goals from Denis Odoi and Vincent Janssen were enough to see this team take a point at full time. In the meantime, Antwerp's last league defeat was against Anderlecht in a 2-0 contest. However, other encounters saw this team lose to Club Brugge and Kortrijk while drawing Anderlecht. In their road matches, Antwerp have a poor run of four matches, losing two and drawing two. With 44 points, Antwerp are seated 5th in the standings, scoring 47 goals and conceding.

Expert Betting Tips

Cercle Brugge have been at the top level at home and I expect so much from this home side. However, Antwerp performances on the road have been poor and it is just difficult to back them in this one. While I feel this will be an end-to-end game, I am certain the two teams will net. Also, with Cercle Brugge expected to be solid again, I will back them to return to winning ways.
