Anderlecht form and stats

Anderlecht have played 5 Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-0 (wins-draws-losses).

No payout for Anderlecht in their previous match, an away game at Standard Liege that ended in defeat 2-3. Up until that game this team had gone nine consecutive league meetings without losing. A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Standard Liege) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3. The striker Dreyer won the honour of being "man of the match" for Anderlecht with a rating of 7.83/10. Dreyer scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Mechelen in a game that was won 3-1.

Sports bettors should know that 8 of the most recent 10 league matches from this club have had at least one goal from each side.

The manager Riemer will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to La Louviere in only three days.

A decent goal production from Anderlecht in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 5 league matches. From these home matches, Anderlecht have conceded only 4 goals.

OH Leuven go into this game after a win, the home game against Sint-Truiden that ended 4-0.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Cercle Brugge wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.
