8.10Tip and bets
In September, Anderlecht failed to beat Westerlo in the national championship, the rivals then separated in a draw. In the Cup, we think the "purple and white" will prevail, after all, they have more opportunities to rotate the squad, they have been playing quite successfully in several tournaments throughout the season. Plus, Westerlo plays poorly in away matches.
Our forecast is Anderlecht victory at odds of 1.65
Bet on total
Anderlecht have not conceded in their last four victories and generally play reliably in defence. Westerlo often have difficulties in attack in away games. It is highly likely that both teams will not be able to score today.
Second bet - both will not score with odds of 2.40
Bet on the first half
It should be noted that in the last three matches, Westerlo played to a draw in the first half. We think that the visitors will cope with the initial onslaught of Anderlecht, and all the main events on the field will unfold after the break.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.65
