Anderlecht – Antwerp : Preview & Prediction
Anderlecht and Antwerp are in the race for a place in the Europa League or the Conference League, having been left behind in the title race by Sint-Gillis and Club Brugge. Even if everything is still possible, it is difficult to see these two teams returning to the top of the table, except for Vincent Kompany’s men, who are only six points behind the runner-up. For that to happen, Belgium’s most successful club will have to make a clean sweep of the last three games and inflict a similar beating to the first round, when RCSA won 4-0 at the Bosuilstadion. Undefeated at home since the beginning of February for a total of 630 minutes, the Mauves intend to continue this series in order to gain maximum confidence before the reception of USG on May 15th.
The “Great Old”, as they are known, have started this mini-league very badly, losing two of their three games (0-0 in the other). Brian Priske’s team has not scored a single goal and has just suffered a humiliation in front of their home crowd a few days ago. A reaction from both sides of the pitch is expected from RAFC as they try to salvage some momentum at the end of the season. With only one win in their last three away games, confidence is clearly lacking among Michael Frey and his teammates who still haven’t found the miracle solution to turn the situation around. Without a realization of the group, we do not see how the year 2022 could end well.
Anderlecht can count on Joshua Zirkzee and his 18 goals / 9 assists to make the difference.
Anderlecht have scored more than 2 goals on average in their last 5 games.
Anderlecht has won the last two meetings by scores of 4-0 and 2-1.
Antwerp have gone 3 games without a win at their opponents.
Antwerp has the worst defence of the 4 teams: 5 goals conceded.
In front of their fans, Anderlecht has to do the job and win against a team struggling in this group. With two consecutive clean-sheets on their home ground, Sporting will be hoping for a draw in the other game to climb up the table! The recommended prediction is a win for Anderlecht, but you can also play Zirkzee or Frey at 1.54 at
