Beerschot vs Anderlecht Prediction and Betting Tips | October 18th 2024
Beerschot will host Anderlecht at the Olympisch Stadion on Friday in another round of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The home side have endured a difficult return to the Belgian top flight and find themselves rock-bottom in the league table with just two points as they continue to search for their first win of the season.
They played out a 2-2 draw against Westerlo in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward maximum points on the road following a late strike from Ryan Sanusi before their opponents leveled the scores minutes later.
Meanwhile, Anderlecht are enjoying a strong run of form under interim boss David Hubert and will fancy themselves as early title contenders. They picked up a 3-0 win over Standard Liege last time out, with Jan-Carlo Simic and Kasper Dolberg getting on the scoresheet in the first half before Anders Dreyer came off the bench in the second half to seal the points.
The visitors now sit fourth in the league standings with 17 points from 10 matches and will be looking to continue their winning streak this weekend.

Beerschot vs Anderlecht Prediction
Beerschot are winless in all 10 of their league outings this season and now find themselves inching towards a return to the Belgian second tier. They have lost their last three games on home turf and will be desperate to snap that streak this weekend.
Meanwhile, Anderlecht are on a run of back-to-back victories and have lost just once all season. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams coupled with their contrasting form should see the visitors come out on top on Friday.
