Anderlecht vs Antwerp Prediction & Betting Tips (16 January)

The Mauves of Anderlecht have been crumbly in recent weeks, as evidenced by their three defeats in a row in the league against Genk 2-0, the promoted Dender 2-3 , and last weekend for the reception of an elite big name , Club Brugge 0-3. Even his qualification for this last four was obtained without having been brilliant, with a small goal against the red lantern of the championship Beerschot victory 0-1 . At home therefore, Anderlecht is stagnating with two defeats in a row and will have to raise the level in the coming weeks to be competitive at all levels of the championship, Belgian Cup, and Europa League.   Opposite, we find the five-time Belgian champion, Royal Antwerp.

Unlike Anderlecht, The Great Old does not lose in the league but that does not mean that it is doing better with only 1 victory at the end of the last 7 performances for a record of 2 defeats and 4 draws. The latest one? Last weekend on the lawn of the red lantern, Beerschot 1-1. Nothing to brag about for the visitors who, on the other hand, brilliantly obtained their tickets for the last four by inflicting a manita on Union Saint-Gilloise at home 5-1.

Having been out for several weeks now, Stroeykens and Ashimeru will probably be forced to miss a new poster. Let's not forget to mention the possible absences of defenders Vertonghen, Ndiaye, and Swedish full-back Ludwig Augustinsson. This leaves a lot of major players with absent subscribers and this could be a significant reason for the less good Mauves. Offensively speaking, they can count on former Nice player Dolberg (2nd top scorer in the championship with 12 goals) without forgetting Dreyer (3 goals, 5 assists). In the quarter-finals, it was central defender Simic (Serbian international) who scored the only goal of the match.

 Already absent in the quarter-finals, Balikwisha, Engels, and Scott will probably be forced to throw in the towel for this evening as well. Announced absent from the league last weekend, midfielder Doumbia (1 goal in the league) was finally present and even took part in the match. Against USG in the previous round, Chery (9 goals, 5 goals in the league) scored twice while former Leicester midfielder Praet scored a goal and delivered an assist. We will not forget to mention the contribution of Dutch striker Janssen (7 goals, 6 assists in the league).
