Match description

Cercle Brugge are the favorites: in the last 5 matches they have 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss and have scored 13 goals, while FCV Dender EH have 1 win, 0 draws and 4 losses and 4 goals. The home side have an advantage in quality of chances — Cercle’s average xG is 1.74 versus 1.23 for the visitors, and they also register more shots and shots on target (15.63 and 5.31 compared to 10.38 and 4.13). Form corroborates the edge: hosts average 2 points per match over the last 5 fixtures, visitors only 0.6, and Dender failed to score in 38% of away games versus 19% for hosts. However both teams have defensive issues — Cercle concede on average 1.94 goals at home, and Dender have a negative goal difference on the road (-10) and conceded 11 goals in the last 5 matches, which increases the outcome uncertainty. Considering the attacking superiority, xG and current form, I expect a home win, but with a moderate probability of a draw.
