Cercle Brugge vs Antwerp H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

On March 1, Cercle Brugge were hosting Antwerp in the First Division A of Belgium. It’s full-time, and the match ended in a goalless draw.

Tensions run high as Cercle Brugge and Antwerp square off once more, 5 months after the previous First Division A meeting that concluded in a 3-0 victory for Antwerp. Cercle Brugge enter this match after two consecutive draws, having shared points with Kortrijk and Westerlo. If they hope to shift momentum in their favor, addressing defensive lapses will be essential, given that they have been conceding goals for five consecutive matches now.

Antwerp head into this fixture following a draw against Oud-Heverlee on February 22, bringing their unbeaten streak to two. Their backline remains a concern, conceding goals in their last fourteen matches in a row.

This Belgian Pro League clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Cercle Brugge and Antwerp in this campaign. Cercle Brugge’s attacking options, carefully orchestrated by Ferdinand Feldhofer, have been bolstered by Kevin Denkey, the team’s top scorer, and Kazeem Olaigbe, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Denkey leads Cercle Brugge’s scoring charts in Belgian Pro League this season with ten goals, while Nazinho has been their leading creator in the competition with six assists. Thibo Somers, Gary Magnee and Alan Minda have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Cercle Brugge’s attack.

Meanwhile, Vincent Janssen and Tjarron Chery have been pivotal for Antwerp’s attack, with Jonas De Roeck steering the side, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Chery has emerged as Antwerp’s leading scorer in Belgian Pro League this season, netting eleven goals, as Janssen continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with six assists. Antwerp have also relied on Gyrano Kerk, Jacob Ondrejka and Mahamadou Doumbia to energize their attack through key shots and passes.
