Antwerp go head-to-head with Cercle Brugge in the First Division A of Belgium on October 4. Kickoff is scheduled for 18:45 UTC.
7 months after their last face-off in First Division A, Antwerp and Cercle Brugge renew their battle. In their last encounter, neither side could break the deadlock, ending in a 0-0 draw. On a difficult run, Antwerp approach this match following losses against Gent and Westerlo. Ahead of their clash with Cercle Brugge, they must first take on Zulte-Waregem and Anderlecht in Belgian Pro League, and how they perform in these games could set the tone for their encounter with Cercle Brugge. Tightening up at the back might be their best chance to shift momentum, especially given the fact their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have been conceding goals for seven consecutive matches now.
Cercle Brugge are heading into this match following a defeat to Charleroi in the First Division A last Sunday. They have several key matches to navigate before facing Antwerp though, including Gent and Mechelen in Belgian Pro League, games that could impact their momentum heading into the match against Antwerp.
Antwerp and Cercle Brugge meet in Belgian Pro League with their goal-scorers and playmakers ready to take on pivotal roles.
