Anderlecht vs Standard Liege Preview
Anderlecht handily dealt with Westerlo on matchday 16, winning 3-1 thanks to goals from Anders Dreyer, Thomas Delaney, and Kasper Dolberg. The victory kept them within four points of Union Saint-Gilloise at the top of the table going into matchday 17.
Anderlecht prepare to host Liege having lost just twice in 16 matches in the league this season. However, their last defeat was in the reverse of this fixture, when they were beaten 3-2 in October. While the record will show a defeat, Anderlecht will feel unlucky not to have come away from Liege with anything. They were 2-0 up at half-time, and it could have been three if it weren’t for a disallowed goal. A Standard comeback saw them surrender their lead and eventually lose.
Since that victory, Liege have won just once in five league games, a 1-0 win over Genk. Their other results include a 1-1 draw with Mechelen, 2-0 loss against Club Brugge, and 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Antwerp.
In fact, Liege have lost three consecutive away matches as they prepare for a trip to Anderlecht. They rank 10th in the Jupiler Pro League for points accumulated on the road, while Anderlecht rank third for points won on home soil. It looks like it could be a mismatch at Lotto Park as the hosts attempt to apply even more pressure to Union in the run up to Christmas.

Anderlecht vs Standard Liege Betting Tips
Anderlecht to win and both teams to score – 2.95
While we expect Anderlecht to be the stronger of the two sides and come out on top, they have not kept a clean sheet in three league matches. We could see a 2-1 or 3-1 here.
Anders Dreyer to score first – 5.80
The Danish forward could be the one to cause the damage. He has netted in back-to-back games and already has nine goals to his name in the current Jupiler Pro League campaign.
