Westerlo - Anderlecht betting tips and odds

Westerlo are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Pro League, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.50, it’s not very likely to happen.

Though we can’t say for certain, all signs are pointing towards Anderlecht as the final winner of this showdown. Westerlo have been known to surprise us from time to time, though, so the match isn’t a done deal.

No one expected Westerlo to win the previous round at Sporting Charleroi – they were the visiting team in a highly disfavourable matchup. Even though they somehow managed to end the first half with a lead, their opponents went home with 3 points after a narrow 3:2 win.

Anderlecht are coming off from a rocky match against RWDM last round. While they managed to snag a 2:1 home win in the end, their performance in the first half left a lot to be desired.

With Anderlecht_GOALS_CONCEDED goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Anderlecht's backline has much to be wished for

Anderlecht don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

We already saw these two teams clash earlier in the season with Anderlecht winning a solid home win. They’re on foreign grounds this time, but that shouldn’t hinder them too much – most bookmakers online still consider them to be the favourites.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Ravil Tagir, Josimar Alcócer, Nacer Chadli have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.60, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
