Beerschot VA vs Anderlecht Prediction & Betting Tips (9 January)

The situation is really critical for Beerschot which still occupies the last rank of the Belgian elite and above all eleven lengths behind the first non-relegation, Westerlo. The results are checkered with only two victories in the last ten days of the championship for a catastrophic record of four defeats. The latest one? In the last match to date, on the lawn of Louvain 2-0, in the wake of two points sharing with Kortrijk 2-2, and Standard de Liège 0-0. In this Belgian Cup, the evening locals took out Mechelen in the round of 16 after penalties 2-2 after extra time.

 For its part, Anderlecht is not going through misery like its evening opponent but is not necessarily at its best since it suffered two defeats in its last two matches in the Jupiler League against the leader Genk initially 2-0 , and for the reception of the promoted Dender in a second 2-3 . From now on, the Mauves are significantly behind Genk by 9 points and see their 3rd place being under pressure from no less than three teams, in this case Antwerp, Union Saint-Gilloise, and La Gantoise, the 3 teams less than 3 points. In the 1/8 finals, Anderlecht slapped Westerlo at home with a clear and flawless 4-1 victory. 

Injured in an ankle, Fayed (important in recent weeks) will not play, nor will midfielder Sanusi (1 goal, 1 assist in the league this season) also injured. Former Parisians Colin Dagba and Mbe Soh will be present, as will their compatriot Nzouango (sporadic within the rotation). On a personal level, only Saudi international Al Sahafi (5 goals) is trying to keep the club afloat. Anderlecht does not expect to see the return of the long-term injured Ashimeru (1 goal in 10 league appearances this season ), nor even Angulo (rotation).

Foket (starter), and Stoeykens (3 goals, 4 assists in the Jupiler League) are also highly doubtful for this part. On the other hand, the Dane Dreyer (3 goals, 5 goals in the championship), his compatriot and former Nice player Dolberg (12 pawns in the championship) without forgetting the young English talent on loan from the Saints Samuel Edozie (2 goals in the championship) will be present for this shift.
