Cercle Bruges - Royal Antwerp

Sunday afternoon at the Jan Breydel Stadion, Cercle Brugge and Royal Antwerp collide in a pivotal matchday 10 encounter in the Belgian Pro League. The hosts face a challenging period, looking to bounce back after a heavy 5-2 defeat against Union St.Gilloise last weekend. With the expected XI featuring Steve Ngoura and Dante Vanzeir in attack, Cercle Brugge will aim to find the defensive stability that has been missing during their recent slide down the table.

Royal Antwerp arrive in higher spirits following a dominant 3-0 victory over Sporting Charleroi. While their away form has been inconsistent, including a difficult 5-1 loss at Westerlo, the visitors will look to exploit the defensive vulnerabilities shown by their hosts. With Thibo Somers and Arthur Vermeeren expected to anchor the midfield, Antwerp will attempt to replicate their previous success at this venue, having secured a convincing 4-0 win here in January.
