Cercle Brugge is in better form over their last five matches with a record of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, averaging 1.4 points per match, while FCV Dender EH has not won any of their last five matches and averages only 0.2 points per match.

Cercle Brugge scores an average of 1.38 goals per home match, surpassing the 0.92 goals averaged by Dender in away matches.
