BRUGGE, Belgium (Interstat) — Cercle Brugge will seek to avenge a recent defeat when it hosts Louviere Centre in a Belgian First Division A match on Saturday.

The visitors won the last meeting 2-1 on Nov. 2, 2025, in Louviere. That result will be on the minds of the Cercle Brugge squad as they return to league play at Jan Breydel Stadium.

Cercle Brugge (10-7-9) enters the match after a 2-2 draw with Zulte Waregem on April 4. Their form has been inconsistent, with a notable 1-0 victory over Genk on Feb. 26 preceded by a heavy 4-0 defeat to Kampong Speu Province on Jan. 31. They currently sit mid-table.

Louviere Centre (8-8-10) is coming off a 1-0 home loss to Dender on Monday, which snapped a six-match unbeaten run across all competitions. Prior to that, they had shown a potent attack, scoring three or more goals in four of their previous five outings, including a 3-2 win over Stad Mouscronnois on April 4.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 1-1 draw for Saturday’s contest.

Louviere Centre’s schedule shows a congested period ahead, with a Division 3 match against RAS Jodoigne scheduled for the following day, April 12. They will also face Cercle Brugge again in a return league fixture on May 9.

Cercle Brugge’s next scheduled match is not until May 1, a home game against Zulte Waregem, giving them a significant rest advantage after this weekend.

Key players to watch include Cercle Brugge’s attackers, who will aim to break down a Louviere Centre defense that has kept only one clean sheet in its last five matches. Louviere Centre will rely on its recent scoring form to challenge a Cercle Brugge side that has been strong at home, with wins over Genk and Westerlo since the start of the year.

Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. local time (1600 GMT).
