Monaco vs Anderlecht Betting Tips

It’s not an inspiring match-up and it isn’t likely to carry a tremendous amount of entertainment factor. Monaco and Anderlecht are each averaging just one goal per game and they both play a relatively negative brand of football.

Still, this game is very much part of a still wide open picture in Group J where all four teams are still in with a chance of advancing further. The next two games will be crucial.

A win over Nantes at the weekend ensured that Monaco returned from the international break with a relatively positive result. Still, they’ve been a relatively unpredictable team across all competitions this season. They beat Qarabag before earning a crucial away draw in their last outing. They now need to pick up three points against a team that they drew against previously.

There’s little reason to believe in Anderlecht, but they did earn a crucial victory over Tottenham earlier in the competition and they’re still in position to earn an unlikely qualification to the next phase of Europa League competition.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Lack of ambition

Neither of these teams plays in a way that results in a lot of goals being scored and somehow it feels most likely that the teams will cancel each other out.

2. Only eight goals between two teams so far

They’ve each averaged one goal per game, with an outlier each as well. Hard to believe that this game will turn into an offensive explosion.

3. Odds good enough

The odds are good enough at 3/5, even if there’s no terrific return on an Under 2.5 result, there’s money to be made on a large stake.
