On Saturday Aug 27th, in week 6, Cercle Brugge hosts Zulte-Waregem in a meeting of these two Pro League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, a perfect day for football. Cercle Brugge sits at 16th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-2 loss against Genk. Bryan Heynen struck first for Genk in the 41st minute, then in the 46th minute, Kevin Denkey sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Olivier Deman. Cercle Brugge looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Zulte-Waregem recorded a 1-3 loss against Sporting Charleroi. A. Fadera struck first for Zulte-Waregem in the 5th minute on a feed from Alessandro Ciranni, then Daan Heymans tied it up for Sporting Charleroi in the 36th minute on a feed from Ken Nkuba Tshiend But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 83rd minute on a goal by Joris Kayembe Ditu. Zulte-Waregem looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 3 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 Cercle Brugge won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Zulte-Waregem’s most prolific scorer has been A. Fadera. He has netted two goals over the last five matches. Louis Torres and Olivier Deman are the top scorers for Cercle Brugge in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
