Anderlecht form and stats

Last season their Belgian Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.

There's been little loot from Anderlecht's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 12 away games in the Pro League. Anderlecht only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 5 draws. The last three matches for Anderlecht have all ended in a draw.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Royal Excel Mouscron.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Anderlecht manager V. Kompany as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Genk.

Anderlecht have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 16 goals have been scored. Anderlecht struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 20 goals conceded from these games.
