Command Analysis

Anderlecht

Current form
Anderlecht was approaching the start of the season as a contender for the title, the selection of players allowed them to count on high places, but the competition in the fight for gold was off the charts. In the first half of the season, David Hubert's team made a lot of mistakes and dropped out of the championship race, but at the same time retains its chances of qualifying for European competitions, taking fifth place in the table. Last week, the Purple Whites made it to the Belgian Cup final - after a 1-0 home win over Antwerp, Anderlecht held on to a 2-2 away draw and advanced further.

Royal Antwerp

Current form
Antwerp was not considered a clear contender for the championship title before the start of the season, but at the same time they definitely expected to compete for a ticket to the European Cup – the selection of players allowed them to set such ambitious goals. At the moment, Jonas De Reka's team is in fourth place in the table with 40 points and is five points ahead of the seventh Standard, such a handicap cannot guarantee anything yet. Last week, the Reds missed the opportunity to qualify for the Belgian Cup final, passing Anderlecht ahead.

1.95Tip and bets
Anderlecht made it to the Belgian Cup final last week, but there is something to strive for in the championship – so far the hosts have not completely guaranteed themselves a place in the top six. It is obvious that in a duel against a direct competitor, the purple-whites will strive only for victory, and it is unlikely that Antwerp, which has conceded in each of the last 11 matches, has a chance to win back to zero. At the same time, the Reds are in good shape, scoring regularly and scoring a lot, they are quite capable of responding with one goal.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The forecast is that both will score. This bet is offered with odds of 1.69
Betting on the outcome
Anderlecht has been having stability problems lately, but there is no question of a crisis in general, and the hosts will undoubtedly play only to win in a home match against a direct competitor. Antwerp is not a simple opponent and will not give points, but the Reds have problems defensively, and in recent matches against the Bruxelles they regularly have problems. It makes sense in such a situation to give preference to the hosts and count on their confident victory.
The bet is the victory of Anderlecht. This bet is offered for 2.09
Betting on corners
Anderlecht is the favorite and will probably play number one – the hosts should win confidently on the corners.
