There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Belgian Cup game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at AS Eupen. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Anderlecht form and stats
Anderlecht, who have the most scored goals (20) at home in Pro League, have played 8 Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-4-1 (wins-draws-losses). Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Anderlecht shared the glory with RFC Seraing (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) in their last match, an away game that ended all square 3-3. Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against RFC Seraing (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) last time out, but a goal from L. Refaelov completed a comeback to a draw result for Anderlecht. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
A strong away win before that one, visiting Sporting Charleroi and winning 3-1.Anderlecht are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (20 goals in 8 games).
