Anderlecht’s poor run of Jupiler Pro League 2022 form continued last weekend as they lost 2-1 on the road against newly promoted Westerlo. They will hope to get back to winning ways on Sunday as they prepare to host 14th place Kortrijk.
We’ve previewed the upcoming fixture and picked out the best football betting tips based on the latest live betting odds available. If you like the look of our predictions, head to Bet777.be for all of the Jupiler Pro League 2022’s latest sports betting markets and football odds.
Anderlecht vs Kortrijk Match Preview & Betting Odds
Anderlecht’s defeat last time out made it three defeats in the last four for the Belgian giants. They have already fallen 14 points adrift of league leaders Antwerp and are six points shy of the Championship Group places. Felice Mazzu’s side cannot afford to slip any further down the Jupiler Pro League 2022 rankings, with victory this weekend crucial to lifting confidence.
Kortrijk make the trip to Lotto Park on a run of four defeats in their last five games. Their lack of goals has been a huge constant throughout the opening couple of months of the season – only bottom of the league Cercle Brugge have scored fewer – and last season’s over-reliance on Faiz Selemanie is now coming back to bite them.
It comes as no surprise to see Anderlecht heavy favourites heading into the tie at 1.33, with the visitors not given much chance at 8.75. Given Kortrijk’s lack of attacking fluidity of late, Anderlecht to win and keep a clean sheet looks a solid option at 2.00, with the odds currently at 18.00 for a repeat of the 3-2 scoreline we saw last time these sides met.
It’s hard to look beyond the home side in this match. They have far more quality littered across their team, and we don’t expect Kortrijk’s lacklustre attack to cause them too much trouble. The visitors don’t have the worst record in this fixture, but their only victories this season have come against teams in the bottom four. Fabio Silva has had a solid start to his Jupiler Pro League 2022 career, and he will be key in this match-up for Anderlecht.
Anderlecht vs Kortrijk Betting Tips
Anderlecht win 1-0, 2-0, or 3-0 – 1.90
A pretty decent option to nearly double your money. Anderlecht will be expected to win, but we don’t think it will be a particularly entertaining game. Kortrijk have shown very little to suggest they can compete on the road – this should be fairly routine for the hosts.
HT / FT – Tie/Anderlecht – 3.95
Anderlecht haven’t scored in the first 45 minutes of their last three league games. They might take a while to get going as they search for some form, but they should overwhelm Kortrijk in the second half with their talent in the final third.
