    Cercle Brugge host Oostende on Saturday in a Jupiler Pro League fixture. Oostende are 16th in the league standings with 24 points from 23 games.

    Oostende have failed to win their last three games in the division. Cercle Brugge are seventh in the Pro League standings.

    Coach Dominik Thalhammer’s team is in brilliant form. Cercle Brugge picked up four straight wins in the Pro League.

    Although Cercle Brugge are in better form, Oostende claimed a home win in the reverse fixture between these sides.

    Cercle Brugge scored through Thibo Somers in the 66th minute, but Oostende came back to win thanks to goals from Makhtar Gueye and Alfons Amade.

    Amade’s goal was scored in the 90th minute for the win. Twelve of the last 13 games in all competitions between these teams finished without a defeat for Oostende.

    However, Cercle Brugge are in great form and will fancy their chances of winning.

    Cercle Brugge picked up 15 points from the last 18 points available in the Pro League. They outscored their last six opponents 13-4.

    Oostende picked up four points from the last 18 points on offer in the division. They were outscored 10-4 across the last six matches.

    Cercle Brugge’s last four games at the Jan Breydel Stadion finished as wins. The Green and Black have a record of 4W-2D-6L at home in the Pro League this term.

    Oostende have an away record of 3W-2D-6L. They have a –6-goal difference on the road this term.

    The Green and Black are led in goals by Welsh forward Rabbi Matondo with six goals. Matondo will likely start in attack.

    Thalhammer will be without midfielder Olivier Deman due to a suspension. Midfielder Edgaras Utkus is a doubt along with Waldo Rubio. Goalkeeper Miguel van Damme is ruled out.

    Oostende coach Markus Pflanz will be without Steven Fortes and Kenny Rocha Santos are at the Africa Cup of Nations tournament.

    Goalie Jordy Schelfhout is ruled out with a broken finger. Manuel Osifo and Indy Boonen are both doubts due to injuries.

    Cercle Brugge are in good form and should continue that form versus a relegation-threatened Oostende this weekend.

    The Green and Black may have lost earlier this season away to Oostende, but they are on a four-game home winning streak.

    Cercle Brugge should post a win with under 2.5 goals scored. Oostende have scored 25 goals this season, which are the second-fewest in the Pro League. Cercle Brugge should post a win to nil over their rival.
