Buoyant Beveren can pull an upset at Freethiel Stadion
Home form and setup
SK Beveren arrive in high spirits to take on RSC Anderlecht at Freethiel Stadion on Sunday, where Sunday's match promises to be tight but the hosts have the potential to steal the victory. The White-Blues have won their first four home matches in all competitions, averaging 2.50 goals per game, and have yet to slip up in front of their own fans.
Tim Bakens has drilled his team into a cohesive, well-drilled unit that are physical, compact, and disciplined, and it looks like a recipe for success.
Away form and tactics
Anderlecht arrive in solid form, but not spectacular, having gone unbeaten in their last five matches, but having also drawn two of those and won just three. Vitor Bruno's men have switched seamlessly between 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 and have a versatile pressing game that has them set up for the fast breaks.
Beveren have the edge in the forward line
Forwards
- Danylo Sikan has been Anderlecht's main outlet so far, with the Ukrainian forward finding the net three of his team's eight goals over the last five games.
- Ferre Slegers, however, is Beveren's danger man and has bagged four of his side's 11 goals in their last five, so the hosts have the cutting edge.
Betting outlook and match flow
Backing the home side to get something from this game looks like a good option, with Anderlecht available at a slight 2.1 and Beveren live at 3.6. The draw also looks live at 3.4, which suggests the smart money is on it being a tight match and the draw perhaps the best value.
There is certainly a chance that Anderlecht's faster, vertical style of play could force gaps in a well-organised Beveren block and they could run away with this one, but the home team's organisation and structure should keep this match tight. As a result, a low-scoring selection looks the best option and BTTS: No is being priced much shorter than Yes, while Under 2.5 goals is still in play.
