Anderlecht vs Antwerp Predictions

• Both league meetings between these two sides finished goalless last season.
• Anderlecht are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Antwerp.
• Anderlecht lost just one of their final nine home games last term.

Anderlecht seeking first points

Anderlecht opened the new season with a 2-0 defeat at Union SG and face another tough assignment this weekend as champions Antwerp visit on Sunday.

The visitors claimed the Belgium Super Cup by beating KV Mechelen on penalties and then downed Cercle Brugge 1-0 in their league opener last weekend.

Goals could be in short supply

Both league meetings between these two sides finished 0-0 last term and backing under 2.5 goals looks a good starting point here.

There were fewer than three goals scored in four of Anderlecht’s final five home games across all competitions last season, while under 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in 10 of Antwerp’s last 11 competitive away games.

Home advantage gives Anderlecht the edge

Anderlecht have a good record against Antwerp, particularly at this venue where they are unbeaten in the last five meetings (W3, D2).

The Purple & White offered little at Union SG last time out but are generally strong at home and lost just one of their final nine games at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium.

This should be a close game but home advantage may prove the difference and a 1-0 win for Anderlecht is the correct score prediction.
