Draw odds: 49/20 (3.45) – 27.0%
Antwerp odds: 15/4 (4.75) – 36.0%
With barely a 1.0% difference between the two team’s win probabilities, you might be wondering who to bet on this week. We fancy Anderlecht’s 37.0% at 81/50 (2.62), as the head-to-head data suggest a win for the home team. Anderlecht are the expected winners and should keep the three points at Lotto Park. However, if you are on the hunt for something a tad riskier, we’d like to recommend Under 0.5 Second-Half Goals. You saw the information behind our betting tip. You know that the 37.04% chance should be far higher.
Anderlecht vs Antwerp Lineups & Team News
Anderlecht
With 55.0% possession and the same number of shots on target, Anderlecht didn’t deserve to lose 2-0 to Union Saint-Gilloise. Coach Brian Riemer’s boys had a couple of good goalscoring opportunities but failed to make them count. We’re sure that his players have taken the necessary steps to better their display, so we expect our Anderlecht vs Antwerp predictions to succeed.
Predicted lineup – Dupe (GK), Vertonghen, N’Diaye, Debast, Patris, Ashimeru, Diawara, Arnstad, Amuzu, Dolberg & Dreyer
Antwerp
Six of Antwerp’s players won’t partake in this event. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Kobe Corbaine, Bjorn Engels, Davino Verhhlust, and Ortwin De Wolf are all injured. Meanwhile, defender-in-chief Gaston Avila will miss the game against Anderlecht, as he earned himself a 69th-minute red card in the Belgian Super Cup final against Mechelen on the 23rd of July.
Predicted lineup – Butez (GK), De Laet, Alderweireld, Van Den Bosch, Bataille, Vermeeren, Yusuf, Kerk, Ondrejka, Balikwisha & Janssen
Player to Watch: Jan Vertonghen
The former Tottenham Hotspur defender will most surely be among coach Brian Riemer’s starting XI on Sunday. The 36-year-old captain made one hell of a 2022/23 season, so believing he’ll get benched by the younger generation so easily would simply be naïve.
Jan Vertonghen is an integral part of our Anderlecht vs Antwerp prediction. His expertise and top-notch quality will surely test Antwerp’s strikers on Sunday.
