Jupiler Pro League: Anderlecht vs Genk Preview
Two of the league’s form sides meet just two days before Christmas. Only Union Saint-Gilloise have accumulated more points than these two sides in the last 10 games, with the pair now separated by just five points in the league.
After back-to-back draws, Anderlecht find themselves eight points adrift of the league leaders Union. They cannot afford to drop points this weekend or they risk slipping to an insurmountable 11 points behind the top. However, they will be full of confidence after avoiding defeat for nine games, winning six and drawing three of those games.
Genk are slowly climbing the rankings and come into this game off the back of three consecutive victories. They have kept two successive clean sheets for the first time in over six weeks and will fancy their chances of closing the gap on Anderlecht.
However, Genk’s away form will be cause for concern. Their 3-1 win away at Eupen was their first victory on the road since 1st November, a 4-0 win in the Belgian Cup. They have lost four of their last six away from home, and things don’t get much easier as they prepare to take on the high-flying Anderlecht.
Anderlecht vs Genk Betting Odds
Anderlecht are 2.19 favourites ahead of the game, while a Genk win is at 3.13 and a draw is priced at 3.41. Goals are expected in this one, with over 2.5 (1.66) and over 3.5 goals (2.62) attracting plenty of attention. Both teams to score is also heavily favoured at 1.53.
Anderlecht’s in-form Danish duo Kasper Dolberg (6.40) and Anders Dreyer (6.50) are leading the odds to break the deadlock, followed by teammate Benito Raman (6.60).
Jupiler Pro League Betting Tips
Anderlecht win and both teams to score – 3.67
This bet has landed in five of Anderlecht’s previous six victories on home soil. They don’t keep too many clean sheets, instead relying on their potent attack to win games. Genk have scored in 13 of their last 14 away games so they will no doubt cause problems.
Anders Dreyer to score first – 6.50
Dreyer is in the form of his career. He has netted 11 in 16 Jupiler Pro League games, including five goals in his last five games in all competitions. He could well be the one to strike first in this huge game.
