Anderlecht Prediction
Anderlecht occupy the last remaining Championship Round spot ahead of their important encounter with struggling Waasland-Beveren but they’ll need to break a poor run of five league matches without a win if they’re to claim all three points here.
The hosts have lost four of their last five with losses incurred against Sint-Truiden, Genk, Cercle Brugge and Mouscron while picking up just one point from the last possible 15 on offer thanks to a 1-1 draw at home with Sporting Charleroi.
However, despite this poor sequence of results on recent weeks, Anderlecht still possess a solid looking home record of 5-4-1 18/9 with their one defeat coming in a narrow 1-0 loss to the First Division A league leaders Genk, but have also picked up wins over Cercle Brugge and Gent in recent weeks.
Forwards Santini and Dimata (11 goals apiece) are the dangerous attacking personnel up front for the hosts.
Waasland-Beveren Prediction
Waasland-Beveren head into this encounter against Anderlecht on the back of three league wins on the trot having secured vital wins over Club Brugge, Antwerp and Lokeren, so the visitors will be confident of getting something from their trip to Anderlecht on Thursday night.
However, switch to results away from home and you’ll find that Waasland-Beveren have managed just one win from their last five matches on their travels which was a 2-0 win at Antwerp but also includes defeats at Cercle Brugge and Eupen along with draws at Club Brugge and Kortrijk.
Waasland-Beveren’s away record stands at an ordinary looking 2-3-5 13/16 but they’ve kept just two clean sheets on the road so far this season and they could come unstuck against an Anderlecht side who have two dangerous strikers in tandem in this clash.
Betting Tips Verdict
Anderlecht will be keen to return to winning ways and with home advantage behind them, the hosts look well placed for the points here.
