Both Teams to Score

While champions and title favourites Club Brugge have been the dominant force in recent derby fixtures against their city rivals Cercle in terms of results, encounters between the neighbours have generally been keenly contested. BTTS has landed in each of the last three meetings between the local antagonists and we’re tipping the clubs to trade blows again on Friday.

Club Brugge to Win & Both Teams to Score

For a larger price, bettors should consider combining our both teams to score selection with a home win this week. Club Brugge have won eight of the last nine derby games against their traditional foes and the superior quality in their ranks should allow them to push for victory again at the clubs’ shared home, the Jan Breydelstadion.

Half Time Draw, Full Time Club Brugge

Cercle Brugge coach Yves Vanderhaeghe rebuilt his defence over the summer and the Groen en Zwart have looked more solid in the early exchanges of the new campaign as result, conceding just one goal in their opening two games. Cercle’s more robust rearguard could frustrate a Club Brugge outfit that have notched 100% of their league goals so far after the half-time interval, and the champions could have to wait until the second period to land a decisive blow.

Club Brugge vs Cercle Brugge: Match Preview

Club Brugge

Champions Club Brugge are the bookies favourites to successfully defend their title in 2021/22, and FCB posted their first win of the new campaign last weekend with a hard-fought 1-0 triumph at newly-promoted Union Saint-Gilloise. Philippe Clement’s men haven’t quite hit their stride yet, though more fluency should come with more games.

Cercle Brugge

Cercle Brugge needed a late goal from Waldo Rubio to snatch a draw at home to Leuven last time out, though a four-point haul from their opening pair of First Division A fixtures represents a solid start for the team that beat the drop by an inch last term. The members of Yves Vanderhaeghe’s rejigged backline look like they have gelled quickly and that new, more solid platform should allow Cercle to place higher in 2021/22.
