Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Kortrijk will try to put an end to their six-game winless run in all competitions when they take on Anderlecht in the Jupiler League round 22. De Kerels suffered yet another dip in form and given their difficulties in front of goal, home win should not be considered. England defender Ryan Alebiosu is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while the likes of Gunnarsson, Fujii, Challouk, and Seck continue to miss out with injuries.
The capital club, on the other hand, are on a three-match losing run in the national championship. As both Anderlecht and Kortrijk will go for a win in Sunday’s encounter, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Majeed Ashimeru is a major doubts after limping off with injury in a heart-breaking loss to Club Brugge, with Yari Verschaeren likely to sneak into the starting XI.
Highlighted Team (Anderlecht):
Founded on 27 May, 1908, Anderlecht are considered one of the oldest clubs in Belgium. The Paars-wit are the dominant force in the Belgian Pro League and in 2014 they won their 33rd domestic trophy. Anderlecht did remarkably well to win the UEFA Super Cup title in 1983, with the team defeating Benfica in the final of the competition.
The Belgian outfit recorded a 1-0 over the Eagles in the first leg, with the two teams playing out a 1-1 draw in the return leg. Anderlecht play their home games at Constant Vanden Stock Stadium, the venue that was opened in 1917. The stadium was renovated in 1983 and current capacity of Anderlecht’s home ground is 28 063.
The Paars-wit have long-standing rivalries with the likes of Standard Liege and Club Brugge, whilst FC Brussels were considered the club’s bitter opponents in the past. The likes of Besnik Hasi, Lucas Biglia, Filip De Wilde and Romelu Lukaku are some of Anderlecht’s notable players.
