Anderlecht vs Westerlo Prediction: League leaders won’t drop points

Lotto Park will host the Jupiler Pro League encounter between Anderlecht and Westerlo. The two teams could not secure a win in the league. How will they approach this one?

Anderlecht's last league game came against Union Saint-Gilloise, and they settled for a goalless draw. In that encounter, this team had 53 percent of the possessions, with ten goals attempted and five on target, which they could not convert. In the meantime, Anderlecht remain unbeaten in recent encounters, as they won seven of their last matches while drawing two.

Westerlo's last league encounter was against Genk, and this team lost by one goal to nil. In the meantime, Westerlo have not won any previous matches, losing to Gent and drawing Leuven in that run. However, Westerlo's last league win was against Union Saint-Gilloise, and it ended 4-3, thanks to a strong first-half win which saw them win 3-1. Heading into this game, Westerlo have 10 points from six matches, leaving them seated 5th in the standings. 

Westerlo have struggled in the last few games, and they would not expect an easy task on the road. On the other hand, Anderlecht are pulling off strong unbeaten performances, but at home, they need to do better to secure a win. This game looks a bit complicated, but I will trust Anderlecht to stay strong defensively at home, a game they should be able to win full-time.
