On Sun Oct 2nd, in week 10, Gent and Cercle Brugge will play a match in Gent in a Pro League match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which is great football weather. Gent is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Genk. Bryan Heynen scored the first goal for Genk in the 90th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Gent was frustrated by Genk’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Genk ended the match with the shutout victory. Gent is looking for direction having earned 15 points in their last 10 matches, while cercle Brugge sits at 17th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-2 draw against KV Oostende. Kevin Denkey struck first for Cercle Brugge in the 38th minute, then Ayase Ueda added another in the 44th minute on a feed from Hannes Van Der Bruggen. Cercle Brugge looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Gent won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Cercle Brugge’s top weapon lately has been Ayase Ueda, who has 2 goals in the last five matches. Hugo Cuypers has been the most prolific scorer on Gent in his last 5 matches with 2 goals.
