Sint-Truiden have held the upper hand in recent meetings, winning three of the last six encounters, including a victory as recently as March. While Cercle Brugge have historically won five of the last nine meetings at home, the momentum has shifted toward the visitors in the last two seasons.

• Cercle Brugge have conceded at least two goals in six of their last seven league matches.
• High-scoring affairs are the norm for the hosts; 13 of Cercle's last 14 games have featured three or more goals.
• Sint-Truiden have found the net in seven of their last eight competitive fixtures.
• The last ten encounters between these two sides have averaged a high 2.90 goals per game.

Steve Ngoura is the man in form for Cercle Brugge, having netted two goals in his last five home appearances. He is expected to lead the line alongside Vanzeir. Sint-Truiden will look to the creative Ilias Sebaoui and the finishing of Frederic Soelle Soelle to exploit a vulnerable home defence. Both squads report no fresh injury concerns, allowing for full-strength lineups.
