Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Sunday’s football game at Den Dreef pits together Leuven and Anderlecht, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the second half of the season. Leuven’s main goal is to secure the Jupiler League survival, while Anderlecht are eyeing a spot in European competitions. The good news for the hosts is that Uruguay defender Federico Ricca has overcome his injury, but midfielder Kento Misao remains on the sidelines.
The capital club, on the other hand, did well to beat Genk and Cercle Brugge in their last two league matches and even though both Majeed Ashimeru and Amadou Diawara are on international duty, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. Thomas Delaney continues to miss out with a hamstring problem. You should know that Anderlecht hammered Leuven 5-1 at Lotto Park in the first half of the season.
Highlighted Player (Jan Vertonghen):
After spending four years at Ajax, in 2006 Jan Vertonghen signed a loan deal with RKC Waalwijk. The left-footed defender spent one season at Mandemakers Stadion and he returned to Ajax for the 2007/2008 season. The highly rated footballer, who is capable of playing as both centre back and left back, signed a deal with Tottenham Hotspur on 8 July, 2012 and he has been playing for the Premier League outfit ever since.
The Belgian defender scored four goals for the Spurs in the 2012/2013 Premier League season and he made 34 league appearances for the White Hart Lane outfit back then. In the 2015/2016 season Jan Vertonghen and his teammates were producing brilliant displays with Tottenham, but the Spurs eventually finished the campaign in third place in the standings.
Speaking of his international career, Vertonghen made it to both World Cup (2014) and Euro (2016) quarter-finals with the Belgian national team. Jan was born on 24 April, 1987 and his shirt number is 5.
