Match preview
Cercle Brugge enter matchday 4 of the Jupiler Pro League still searching for their first league victory of the campaign. Having posted two draws and a narrow 1-0 defeat against Club Brugge, the hosts currently occupy 13th place with two points. Their fixtures have featured open, high-scoring contests, highlighted by a 3-3 draw against St. Truiden and a 2-2 result against Standard Liege, leaving them with an average of 1.7 goals scored and 2.0 goals conceded per league outing.
Lommel United arrive in 8th place with four points from their opening three fixtures (one win, one draw, one defeat). They enter this clash with momentum following a comprehensive 4-0 home victory against KVC Westerlo. Attacking outputs have been driven by T. Reyners, who has two league goals, alongside playmaker J. van Duiven, who has recorded three assists.
With Cercle Brugge yet to keep a clean sheet across three matches and Lommel demonstrating potent attacking threat from multiple sources, this fixture carries strong potential for both sides to find the net. Cercle's home attacking output (three goals in one home match) combined with Lommel's confidence suggests an open exchange at Jan Breydel Stadium.
