Cercle Brugge vs Gent Prediction and Betting Tips

Cercle Brugge will entertain Gent at Jan Breydel Stadium in the Belgian Pro League on Sunday. Brugge have two wins from eight games, while the visitors have three wins to their name.

The hosts saw their winless streak extended to three games in the league last week as they were held to a goalless draw by Mechelen. They failed to score for the first time in five games and will look to bounce back here.

De Buffalo's saw their unbeaten streak end after four games in their previous outing as they fell to a 1-0 away loss to Anderlecht earlier this week. They also failed to score for the first time this season in that loss and will look to return to goalscoring ways.

De Buffalo's have lost three of their eight league games this season, with two losses registered away from home. They have lost five of their last six league meetings against the hosts, conceding 14 goals, which is a cause for concern.
