Player to watch: Kevin Denkey

There are just two games left to play, and it would take a miracle for Kevin Denkey to not win the Golden Boot. The Togolese forward is the First Division A's top-scorer with 27 goals, at least nine more than every other player in the league.

Interestingly, Denkey was on the scoresheet the last two times these teams met, he also bagged two goals and an assist in his last two appearances for Cercle Brugge.
