Anderlecht vs Cercle Brugge Preview
Anderlecht have lost three of their last five league games but Cercle Brugge are not expected to give them too many problems, despite losing just one of their last five. The hosts must dust themselves off after coming unstuck at Genk and Anders Dreyer, who netted in that defeat, will fancy his chances of getting on the scoresheet once again. Dreyer, 25, has been in fine form this season and the Dane must sparkle if Riemer’s team are to return to winning ways as they chase Champions League qualification.

Anders Dreyer to score first –2.89
Dreyer has been on fire this term and Anderlecht’s hopes of winning will be boosted if he continues his fine form. After picking up a red card in just his third appearance of the campaign, he bagged 13 goals during a purple patch in the final months of 2023. Dreyer has not managed to bulge the net as often so far this year but remains a constant threat when chances come his way — as highlighted by his goal against Genk.
Both teams to score – 1.59
Cercle Brugges have not found goals as easy to come by as Anderlecht but it would be no surprise to see them breach the home side’s defence. The 1.59 on offer for both teams to score could prove too good to overlook ahead of what is expected to be an action-packed encounter.
