Anderlecht vs Antwerp prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 20, 2025
On Sunday, Anderlecht will host Genk at home in the 4 round of the Championship round. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this matchup with good chances of success.
Match Preview
Anderlecht did not have lofty ambitions this season — with limited resources and a not-so-star-studded squad, competing for the title would be a utopia. The main plan is to cling to European competition and save face in the championship group. However, this goal is hanging by a thread.
Currently, David Hubert's team sits in fourth place with 26 points, trailing the third-placed Union by 11 points. Meanwhile, Ghent is breathing down their necks, losing only on additional indicators. In three matches of the championship group, Anderlecht lost all three with a total score of 1-6. You have to agree, such figures speak volumes.
Antwerp successfully navigated the main tournament to reach the championship group this season. Under the guidance of Jonas de Roeck, the team is in sixth place with 23 points, trailing Anderlecht by just three. In fact, a win in the away match would allow Antwerp to overtake their opponent in the standings.
However, it should be noted that like Anderlecht, the club has not won in the championship group. The away defeat to Union by 1-5 was particularly painful, while in their last match, they narrowly lost 0-1 at home to Ghent.
Probable Lineups
- Anderlecht: Kuchemanns, N'Diaye, Neu, Adrielson, Sardella, Maamar, Dendoncker, Leoni, Hazard, Vasquez, Huerta
