Jupiler Pro League: RWDM vs Anderlecht Preview
For RWDM, it’s all about survival in their debut Jupiler Pro League campaign. They started positively but eight defeats in their last 10 have seen them slip into the relegation playoffs.
They are now just two points off the bottom of the league and five points adrift of safety with two matches remaining.
Their defeat last time out against bottom-of-the-league Kortrijk was particularly crushing. They fought back from 1-0 and 2-0 down to level the game at 2-2 before Abdelhak Kadri fired home a penalty with 15 minutes to play to seal Kortrijk the three points.
In contrast, Anderlecht’s focus is at the opposite end of the Pro League table. Despite winning five consecutive matches, they remain eight points off the top as we prepare for the postseason playoffs.
The visitors are the division’s form team, with no team having won more points, scored more goals or conceded fewer in the past five games.
They also head to RWDM with the league’s second-best away record, while the hosts have collected the second-fewest points on home soil in the league.
RWDM vs Anderlecht Head-to-Head
These two sides have only ever faced each other once in a competitive match; the reverse fixture earlier this campaign.
Anderlecht were 2-1 victors in that game despite going 1-0 down early on. Andrers Dreyer converted a penalty in the 74th minute to level the tie before Luis Vazquez fired home a late winner to seal the three points for the hosts.
Latest Pro League Odds
It comes as no surprise that Anderlecht are huge favourites to take the win at 1.54. Due to RWDM’s poor form, they are 5.40 underdogs, with the draw priced at 4.20.
Both teams to score has been heavily backed and currently sits at 1.81, while either side to keep a clean sheet is enough to double your money at 2.00.
It is the in-form 22-year-old Vazquez leading the odds to open the scoring at 5.00, followed by the deadly Danish duo Kasper Dolberg (5.10) and Anders Dreyer (5.20).
RWDM vs Anderlecht Betting Tips
Anderlecht win and both teams to score – 3.11
Although we expect Anderlecht to dominate and score a few themselves, they have not been flawless defensively. They have conceded at least once in their previous eight away matches, while RWDM have scored in four of their last six at home.
Luis Vazquez to score anytime – 2.30
Vazquez has set the league alight since joining from Boca Juniors. Most of his 26 league appearances this season have come as a substitute, but he has still managed to find the net seven times, including three in his last four games.
He could be handed a start here thanks to his impressive form.
