Stats for this game
Matchup Anderlecht VS Cercle Brugge
Anderlecht’s broader command
Anderlecht’s stronger historical balance is visible in their dated victories. They won 2-0 on 3 August 2025, 3-0 on 16 March 2025, 5-0 on 10 November 2024 and 3-0 on 24 April 2024. Cercle Brugge’s 3-2 win on 22 March 2026 breaks that direction, while the 1-1 draw on 28 April 2024 supplies another result that resisted an Anderlecht victory.
Cercle’s interruption
Anderlecht had also won 2-0 on 27 December 2023 and 3-0 on 5 November 2023, so the broader pattern remains clear. A 4-2 Anderlecht win on 21 October 2018 adds another wide result to the comparison. Those scores leave the historical direction clear while preserving room for further reversals. Anderlecht’s advantage remains plain across these examples. The contrast between Cercle’s 2026 interruption and Anderlecht’s repeated margins makes future meetings a question of whether Cercle can respond again or whether Anderlecht reasserts the established historical balance.
