All eyes turn to the pitch as Cercle Brugge and Westerlo meet again, 7 months after their previous First Division A meeting that concluded in a 3-0 victory for Westerlo. Cercle Brugge head into this encounter off the back of a defeat to Genk on February 8, hoping to recover their form, but they remain winless over their last three matches. A more organized backline could be the foundation for success, since their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have allowed goals in three consecutive matches.

Westerlo, fresh off a series of two wins against Standard and Kortrijk, approach this match eager to continue their positive form. Despite this, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in eleven consecutive matches.

Cercle Brugge have also relied on Thibo Somers, Alan Minda and Gary Magnee to energize their attack through key shots and passes.

Meanwhile, Westerlo’s attacking options, crafted under Timmy Simons’s leadership, have been bolstered by Allahyar Sayyad and Matija Frigan, the team’s top scorer, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. In Belgian Pro League, Frigan has been Westerlo’s standout scorer with eight goals, with Sayyad leading their creative tally in the league with five assists.
