Anderlecht vs Eupen Predictions

• Anderlecht are unbeaten in four league games, a run which included a 4-1 home win over Eupen.
• Eupen have gone 11 league games without winning as they battle relegation, losing eight in that time.
• The visitors have failed to score in seven of their last 11 games.

Can Anderlecht book final date?

After a 2-2 draw in the first leg of their Belgian Cup semi-final clash, Anderlecht and AS Eupen go head-to-head again for the right to face either Gent or Club Brugge in the domestic cup final. The hosts will consider that first-leg draw a frustrating result, having hammered the same opponents 4-1 in league action at the start of February, but should be set to atone for that result on Thursday.

Anderlecht’s recent form is strong; they’ve lost just two of their last 14 matches in the Belgian First Division, with those reverses coming against the league’s current top two. They have rifled home 32 goals during that run of matches, and have now kept consecutive clean sheets against Genk and Leuven.

Eupen, on the other hand, have endured a genuinely dire run of league form, going 11 matches without a win, of which they have lost eight. Only the dire seasons endured by both Beerschot and Seraing are making Eupen’s survival likely, and they now have failed to score in seven of their last 11 outings, making their two goals in the first-leg even more remarkable.

Anderlecht should cruise through untroubled

Given the visitors’ horrendous attacking displays of late, Anderlecht, whose defensive record is the third-best in the Belgian top-flight, should be able to secure comfortable progress to the cup final and shutout their out-of-shape opponents whilst doing so.

Meanwhile, Anderlecht average over two goals per game in their home league games this term, netting 32 times in 14 matches on home soil, so a 2-0 victory could be a decent correct score prediction.
