Anderlecht vs Cercle Brugge Betting Tips: Anderlecht to Win

In a thrilling match filled with drama &— including a missed penalty, VAR situations, and two red cards &— Anderlecht made a remarkable comeback against Genk. Leoni emerged as the hero of the match, scoring the equalizer in the 74th minute and assisting teammate Dreyer to secure a crucial 2-1 win in the first minute of extra time.

The men in purple and white ended their consecutive draws against St. Liege (2-2) and Royal Antwerp (1-1) with a come-from-behind victory on Saturday. This victory not only extends their undefeated streak across all competitions to 10 matches, but also gives them a desperate desire to conclude the first half of the league season triumphantly.

Woter Vandenhaute’s team is currently eight points behind the table leaders, Royale Union SG. They hope to close this gap in the final week of 2023 by leveraging their strong record at Lotto Park. So far, they’ve remained undefeated in the first 10 competitive matches held there, and have even managed to secure victory in eight of these games.

Despite a rough start to December with consecutive losses to JPL giants Union SG and Royal Antwerp, Cercle Brugge managed to recover with 2-1 victories over Leuven and a 3-0 win against Kortrijk. This success has made them only the third club to achieve double-digit wins in the domestic campaign. The team is set to visit the capital of Belgium, midweek.

Miron Muslic’s team’s latest success has led them to secure the lofty sixth position, level on points with the seventh-placed Genk, both with 31 points. However, their lacklustre performances in recent away games do not ensure a sustained stay in the Championship spot, as they have managed only one win in their last four away games.

Witnessing the men in green and black causing trouble for the title hopeful is truly a tough sight, especially when factoring in their unfortunate history at Lotto Park, suffering defeat at the hands of Anderlecht an incredible 12 times in 13 away visits. Based on all the factors presented, we believe that in-form R.S.C.A. come away with a narrow victory in front of their home fans.

Anderlecht team news

The defensive pillar and captain Jan Vertonghen remains a question mark for Wednesday’s contest after sitting out the 2-1 victory against Genk last timeout due to ankle issues.

The good news for the capital club is the return of Zeno Debast, who has shaken off his suspension due to accumulated yellow cards, and he is set to start at the back alongside Theo Leoni, the author of the last league victory.
