Excellent record for Anderlecht when playing home against Germinal ! ( 5-0-0 )

It seems that for this game , Anderlecht ‘s supporters aren’t very interested and many seats will be empty . Still Anderlecht played whole season better at home than away and home advantage is very important in this game . To be really fair , Anderlecht has slim chances to win league this year . I believe they should concentrate more on cup if they want to win something this year because this is achievable .

Germinal Beerschot will have same team like in the game lost against Standard 1-2 away last week . Jan Moons ,Gustavo Colman and Arsène Ne remain unavailable. There are 18 players in squad :

Kenny Steppe, Kristof Maes, Martijn Monteyne, Kris De Wree, Kurt Van Dooren, Didier Dheedene, Pieterjan Monteyne, Ederson Tormena, Justice Wamfor, King Osei Gyan, Daniel Owusu, Sebastien Chabaud, Hernan Losada, Daniel Cruz, Vincenzo Verhoeven , Emmanuel Okoduwa, Tosin Dosunmu, Sanharib Malki.

Against Standard , Germinal couldn’t threaten Standard and 1-2 loss is clearly deserved because Standard played better . Anderlecht should win here with 2 goals margin .

My pick:

Anderlecht – GBA AH 0:3/4 home win @ 1.80 VC bet 7/10
