Anderlecht vs Antwerp Prediction & Expert Tips

Anderlecht vs Antwerp Preview

Anderlecht’s struggle continue as they remain without a win in four matches. In their most recent game, the hosts treated their fans to an underwhelming display and had to end the game with ten men as Tristan Degreef was sent off in the 30th minute. Head coach, Besnik Hasi is under pressure to turn the club’s situation as the club’s hierarchy are already keeping tabs on other managerial options.

Anderlecht won their their first three home games at home this season, but have failed to win any of their last three (2D, 1L). The club will also need to work on their discipline as three players received the matching orders in their last two league games.

Following their bright start to the season, Antwerp now seem to be going through a difficult patch. In their last fixture against Gent, the visitors controlled proceedings from the outset and even scored an early goal as proof of their intent. However, things took a turn in the 40th minute when Gent began to take control. The opposition equalized in first-half stoppage time and then struck again in the opening minutes of the second half to completely turn the scoreline around.

Now, Antwerp are more than motivated to turn the atmosphere around the club to a positive one. Their drive to return to winning ways is boosted by their winless streak on the road so far. Antwerp sit 8th on the table with nine points from seven matches.

Anderlecht vs Antwerp Prediction

Considering the recent performances of both teams, we expect this game to end in a stalemate. Both sides have been struggling to get results over the line and continue to show weaknesses at both ends of the pitch. We do not believe either of them has the distinctive quality needed to edge past the other.

Also, we expect the two teams to exploit each other’s vulnerabilities at the back. Anderlecht is without a clean sheet in their last seven matches and Antwerp is without a clean sheet in four games as well. This pick is also buttressed by both teams scoring in six of Royal Antwerp’s last seven matches.

Lastly, under 2.5 goals looks likely here because Anderlecht’s last five games averaged 2 goals per match and Antwerp’s last five averaged 2.4 goals per game. In fact, the last five head-to-head meetings between the two teams averaged 2.4 goals as well.
