Anderlecht vs Cercle Brugge Prediction: Can Anderlecht extend their record?

Lotto Park will be the venue for round 30 of the Jupiler Pro League encounter between Anderlecht and Cercle Brugge. Anderlecht have not lost recent matches in this fixture and I expect so much from them. Can Cercle Brugge turn the tables? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions. 

Anderlecht

Anderlecht played Westerlo in their last league game and they lost. In a 2-0 contest, two first-half goals from Matija Frigan and Dogucan Haspolat were enough to see their opponent take maximum points. Ahead of this game, Anderlecht have won two of their last five matches, defeating Charleroi and Standard Liege. Yet, they lost to Union Saint-Gilloise while drawing Fenerbahce. With 48 points, Anderlecht sit 4th in the league, scoring 47 goals and conceding 27.

Cercle Brugge

Cercle Brugge played Jagiellonia in the Europa Conference knockout stage the previous time out and they won. In a 2-0 contest, this team scored in each half, with Hannes van der Bruggen and Felipe Augusto crucial in attack. However, their last league game against Club Brugge ended in a defeat. Ahead of this game, Cercle Brugge have gone winless in their last road matches, scoring three goals and conceding seven. Ahead of this game, Cercle Brugge have 32 points in 29 league matches, scoring 29 goals and conceding 41.

Cercle Brugge are struggling to get things right lately, and they need to do better on the road. However, Anderlecht have done so much in this fixture, but their recent performances have been below par. This is a competitive game and I expect so much from them here. I will gladly back the two teams to settle for a draw here, but I believe these teams will find the back of the net.
