Cercle Bruges - St.Truiden

Steve Ngoura, expected to lead the line for Cercle Brugge, faces St.Truiden on Friday, 14 August 2026, in their second match of the Belgian Pro League season at Jan Breydel Stadion. Ngoura's side began their campaign with a 2-2 draw away at Standard Liege last weekend, a result that highlights their attacking potential but also defensive questions. The expected XI sees a familiar structure, with midfield and defence featuring players like Viggo Martens and Valy Konate, aiming to build on their opening day performance.

St.Truiden also opened their league account with a draw, a 1-1 stalemate at home to Lommel. They will be looking to improve their away form, having lost 2-1 to Cercle Brugge in their most recent league meeting on 8 March 2026. The visitors' expected lineup includes Ilias Sebaoui in midfield and Frederic Soelle Soelle up front, tasked with breaking down Cercle Brugge's defence and securing their first win of the new season. Both teams will be keen to gain an early advantage in the league standings.
