Match Preview
Cercle Brugge hosts Westerlo at the Jan Breydelstadion in what promises to be an intriguing Pro League clash. Cercle Brugge has had a mixed start to the season, with two wins and three losses in their last five matches. Conversely, Westerlo has shown signs of improvement, bouncing back with two wins after a shaky start. Historically, Cercle Brugge has dominated this fixture, winning six of the last ten encounters, which could play a psychological role in this matchup.
