Anderlecht - Antwerp predictions

Antwerp will give Anderlecht a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.35 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

Antwerp are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 3.01 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

Anderlecht are coming off from a trip to Kortrijk in which they were expected to record an easy win by top bookmakers online. The first 45 minutes, however, ended up being an evenly-contested period which went on to turn into a surprising 0:1 defeat for Anderlecht.

The odds in the visitors’ previous matchup put them on equal footing with their opponents Union Saint-Gilloise, and the HT/FT Draw confirms this assessment. Of course, Antwerp still got the short end of that stick. They were the hosts in that game, after all

We’ve seen Anderlecht and their attacking lineup perform admirably over their latest 3 away games by scoring more than 5 times. They’re the home team this time around – but that should merely serve to push them further.

The fact that they’re playing as visitors doesn’t seem like much of a hindrance for a team like Antwerp. In fact, their previous 3 away games were crowned by more than 5 total goals, so we can be sure that their attackers won’t shy away.

These two teams already clashed this season, and Anderlecht walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving Antwerp supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Saturday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

We recommend keeping it safe with a Double Chance for Away or Draw. There are minor risks involved, mind you, but the 1.61 odds are enough to make the bet worth taking.
