Standard Liege and Cercle Brugge will start the 2026/27 Belgian Pro League campaign looking to do better than last season. The two face off on matchday one, with Standard Liege playing host as both also look to rise from uninspiring preseason runs. Their recent meetings have largely been low-scoring, and this prediction backs the same.
Standard Liege finished eighth in the main standings before the split last season. They were particularly poor at home, winning just four of 15 matches there and scoring less than a goal on average.
Their poor scoring run was also witnessed in the latter matches in preseason, where they failed to score in three of four. Standard Liege also didn't score in their last two home league games.
Cercle Brugge will be looking to tap on to their hosts’ poor scoring form. They seek to improve on their 14th-place finish in the opening stage of the league last season.
In the 30 games played, Cercle Brugge could only manage seven wins. Six of those were, however, registered away from home, and they will be confident of extending the same in this game.
The last time they were here, Cercle Brugge didn’t just win; they also kept a clean sheet, beating Standard Liege 3-0. Having gone through preseason winless, the visitors will hope to change things here.

Our Standard Liege vs Cercle Bruges Prediction
Cercle Brugge will be without two attacking players in Kader Ouattara and Joel Ndala. The two remain on the long-term injury list, affecting their goal-scoring chances. This fixture is known for low scores, and there aren’t signs that will change here.
Standard Liege weren’t strong in preseason, and a good number of their friendly matches saw at least one side fail to score. This match also rarely sees both sides score when they host. With that, we don’t expect a lot of goals in this opener. Our prediction for Standard Liege v Cercle Brugge is under 2.5 goals & BTTS – No.
