- Competition: Belgian Pro League
- Date: 27th December 2024
- Kick-off: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Lotto Park
Anderlecht will be looking to record a fifth consecutive home win on Friday evening when they play host to Dender EH in what will be Matchday 20 of the Belgian Pro League campaign.
The hosts are currently sitting where they finished the 2023-24 campaign, in third place. David Hubert's side travelled to league leaders Genk last weekend in search of a fifth successive win in all competitions. The Purple and Whites managed just two shots on target over 90 minutes in a 2-0 defeat and will be desperate to respond on Friday night.
Dender also saw their own winning streak come to an end last weekend. They lost 3-1 to Antwerp at the Florent Beeckmanstadion, ending a two-match winning streak and failing to keep a clean sheet for the first time in three games. But having won their last away game 3-0, they will be fancying their chances of beating Anderlecht this week.
Anderlecht vs FCV Dender EH Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
All the last two games of Anderlecht ended with exactly two goals, but both games were away from home and I think we will see a different outcome this week. Anderlecht failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last three home matches and as many games produced at least three goals.
Dender's recent away games were also pretty entertaining. The Red and Blues scored three against Kortrijk last time out and their previous away games produced more goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Anderlecht vs FCV Dender EH prediction: 2-1
