Anderlecht vs Cercle Bruges prediction and betting tips on December 27, 2023
Game Prediction
In Belgium, they have also decided to fill the time between Christmas and New Year, especially since there are many rounds in the local Jupiler League. So, on Wednesday, a series of matches will be held, including the clash between Anderlecht and Cercle Bruges. A detailed forecast for the match on December 27, 2023, has been created for the readers of the site.
Anderlecht has finally managed to make a significant improvement.
The "purple and whites" won everything possible except the Champions League. They became champions in their country 34 times, but the last title dates back to 2017. The subsequent decline was attributed to Kompany and his somewhat unsuccessful managerial work. However, in the 2022/2023 season, Vincent triumphantly brought Burnley back to the Premier League in England, and his former charges ended up in eleventh place. Nevertheless, Bryan Rimer, appointed a year ago, held onto his position, and that trust is justified. Currently, this club is trailing behind Union. However, they have fallen behind significantly, partly due to December draws. The match against Genk was challenging; they conceded first, and it was in the 70th minute. But in the end, they turned it around with a determined 2-1 victory.
Cercle Bruges - Rybolovlev's backup asset
The "green and blacks" have been controlled by the Russian oligarch since 2017. However, his main project remains Monaco, of course. In Belgium, he limited himself to quickly returning the project to the Jupiler League and maintaining it at a decent but not more than that level. Last season, they even managed to break into the top 6, finishing noticeably higher than Anderlecht. Currently, the club is showing roughly the same results, remaining among the mid-table teams. However, a 3-0 win against Kortrijk marked their second consecutive victory in this matchup.
Previous matches
Last year, Cercle Bruges managed to win against Anderlecht twice in a row. But after that, the "purple and whites" managed to respond in kind.
