Beerschot vs Anderlecht prediction 09.01.2025 | Belgian Cup

• Competition: Belgian Cup
• Date: 9th January, 2025
• Kick-off: 20:30 CET
• Venue: Olympisch Stadion

After two defeats in the Belgian Pro League, Anderlecht are aiming to get back on their feet in the quarter-finals tie of the Belgian Cup against Beerschot.

The visitors suffered two defeats in the league against Genk and Dender in the last week of 2024, which can be explained by the fact that it was in the middle of the Christmas period, which may have affected the level of performance. These two defeats ended Anderlecht’s 11-game unbeaten run, which began at the end of October and lasted almost two months. However, it is likely that this dip in form is only temporary and the team will return to normal service sooner or later, including Thursday’s cup tie against Beerschot.

The home team has performed even worse in recent weeks and is currently winless in five games (3 D 2 L). They are also bottom of the Pro League with just 12 points after 20 games and have the worst defensive record of all the participating teams.

Beerschot vs Anderlecht Betting Tips: Anderlecht to Win and Over 2.5 Goals Total

Although Anderlecht have lost their last two league games - 0:2 against Genk and 2:3 against Dender - they are superior to Beerschot in almost all respects. The visitors are currently third in the Pro League and have 21 points more than the home side. After two defeats in a row, they will do everything in their power to end this streak.

In addition, six of the last seven matches between Beerschot and Anderlecht have seen more than 2.5 goals scored, so it is very likely that history will repeat itself on Thursday.
