Antwerp vs Anderlecht Prediction: A win for Anderlecht is very certain

Bosuilstadion will host the Jupiler Pro League encounter between Antwerp and Anderlecht. The last meeting between these sides ended in a win for Antwerp in this fixture. Can Anderlecht get a revenge win in this fixture, or will Antwerp keep things going?

Antwerp are coming off a 0-1 win over Charleroi and will look to continue that record in this fixture. In that encounter, Vincent Janssen's early strike in the 10th minute was the difference in that game, as it was enough to seal maximum points for this team. Ahead of this game, Antwerp are seated 3rd in the league's log, leveling points with Anderlecht and Gent, who has the same goals this season.

Anderlecht started their season with a win over St. Truiden, and they secured a victory in that game. In a match that ended 1-0, Anderlecht needed to wait until the game's final minutes before hitting the back of the net, thanks to a 90+2 minute strike by Mario Stroeykens. 

However, in all competitions, Anderlecht have won three successive matches, two others coming in friendly encounters against Amiens and Wolfsburg, games that ended 6-2 and 2-1, respectively. 

I expect Anderlecht to enter this season with their previous season's top performance. On the other hand, Antwerp did not show any decent performance last, as evidenced by their championship group results. This is a new season, and the two teams are expected to enter this game with focus and determination. Yet, I believe the two sides will focus on avoiding defeat, and a bet on a few goals with Anderlecht winning as a better option is a good option.
