The story

Gent chase league lead as Cercle battle survival

A surging Gent side travels to the Jan Breydelstadion looking to seize top spot in the Pro League while piling more pressure on a winless Cercle Brugge.

Match news & current form

Cercle Brugge enter this fixture in 13th place with just two points, sitting only one point above the relegation zone. They are currently enduring a six-match winless run across all competitions, most recently suffering a 1-0 home defeat to Lommel United and a narrow 1-0 loss to local rivals Club Brugge.

In contrast, Gent are the league's form side, sitting 3rd on 12 points and firmly in the title race. They have won four consecutive matches, including a 1-0 victory over OH Leuven last time out and a statement 2-1 win against Club Brugge. They remain undefeated in 11 of their last 12 outings.

Head-to-head history

Key players & missing men

Cercle Brugge face significant selection issues with Abdoul Kader Ouattara ruled out long-term due to a broken foot. Midfielder Hannes Van Der Bruggen is also a major doubt after picking up a knock. Gent have no new reported absences, allowing them to field the same core that has driven their four-match winning streak.
