Cercle Brugge take on Gent in the First Division A of Belgium on September 28, with the match kicking off at 14:00 UTC.
The spotlight turns to the field where the upcoming encounter sees Cercle Brugge and Gent meet again, 9 months after the previous First Division A meeting which ended in a draw 1-1. Cercle Brugge head into this encounter off the back of a defeat to Charleroi last Sunday, hoping to recover their form. They have an important match to navigate before facing Gent though, taking on Mechelen in Belgian Pro League, a fixture that is likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Gent. Focusing on defensive improvements could pave the way for better results, as they've had trouble holding their opponents at bay, having conceded goals in each of their last eight home matches.
Gent, in comparison, come into this clash with momentum, following a victory over Antwerp in their most recent game. For all that, their backline has lacked consistency, with goals conceded across four consecutive matches. Gent have a challenging set of fixtures leading up to the match against Cercle Brugge though, including Anderlecht and Dender in Belgian Pro League, and the outcomes of these games may heavily influence their preparations for Cercle Brugge.
This Belgian Pro League encounter highlights the attacking players who have stood out for Cercle Brugge and Gent throughout the campaign, even in challenging moments. Cercle Brugge’s offensive unit, under the tactical direction of Onur Cinel, has leaned on Steve Ngoura, their main scorer, and Pieter Gerkens, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Ngoura has emerged as Cercle Brugge’s leading scorer in Belgian Pro League this season, netting three goals, as Nazinho continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with two assists. Adding further support are Alan Minda, Edan Diop and Abdoul Kader Ouattara, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
Meanwhile, Gent’s attacking options, carefully orchestrated by Ivan Leko, have been bolstered by Wilfried Kanga and Hyllarion Goore, the team’s top scorer, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Goore leads Gent’s scoring charts in Belgian Pro League this season with two goals, with Kadri leading their creative tally in the league with two assists. Supporting them are Omri Gandelman, Atsuki Ito and Maksim Paskotsi, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Gent’s attack.
