Royale Union SG is rapidly becoming a prominent European team, and within the context of Belgian football, they’re already considered among the top clubs. This season presents them with a fantastic opportunity to clinch the title in the Jupiler League, which they’ve missed out on in the past seasons. Currently, Royale Union is enjoying a winning streak with nine consecutive victories and a lead of eight points over the runner-up, Anderlecht. They’re about to face Anderlecht in the first of two matches within a week, marking the start of the 1/4 finals of the Belgian Cup.

This season, Anderlecht did not participate in European cups, allowing them to concentrate solely on their domestic competition. As a result, their performance has significantly improved compared to the previous season. The most successful Belgian club of all time is currently on a 12-match unbeaten streak. However, a recent draw in the Jupiler League increased their deficit against Royale Union SG. To catch up and surpass the outstanding Royale Union, Anderlecht will need to maintain an exceptional performance until the season’s end.

Royale Union vs Anderlecht pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

Determining which of the upcoming two direct duels between these teams holds more importance is challenging. Anderlecht perceives opportunities in both the championship and the cup competitions, with the latter possibly presenting larger opportunities. Consequently, we anticipate them to have additional motivation against the club they’ve lost to in seven previous matches.

Indeed, Royale Union SG has consistently overpowered Anderlecht in recent years, positioning them as the favorites in the upcoming match. However, we expect a strong pushback from their rivals. We forecast a high-scoring game that showcases the quality and form of both teams. The safest bet would be OVER 2.5 GOALS.
