Cercle Brugge vs Anderlecht Prediction: A draw will satisfy both teams

Jan Breydel Stadium will host the Jupiler Pro League encounter between Cercle Brugge and Anderlecht. Both teams settled for a draw in their last meeting and will look to do better this time. Will there be a winner in this one?

Cercle Brugge

Cercle Brugge were held to a goalless draw by LASK Linz the previous time out and will hope to return to winning ways. In that game, Cercle Brugge had 35 percent of the possession, attempting only two shots on target, which they failed to convert. However, Cercle Brugge have an unbeaten run of four matches, defeating Union Saint-Gilloise, OC Charleroi, and Charleroi. This season, Cercle Brugge have accumulated 15 points, leaving them seated 14th spot. 

Anderlecht

Anderlecht's last league game was against RFS, and they settled for a 1-1 draw. In that game, Anderlecht looked like securing maximum points with Mario Stroeykens' strike, but an own goal in the 96th minute by Ndiaye denied them a win. However, prior to that draw, Anderlecht defeated Kortrijk and Tubize-Braine in consecutive encounters. This season, Anderlecht have 20 points accumulated from 13 matches, leaving them seated 5th in the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams will not fail to find the back of the net in this fixture. While their last meetings have ended in Anderlecht's favor, I do not trust them on the road. Also, with Cercle Brugge expected to avoid a defeat, a draw with a 2-2 scoreline is a good option.
