Anderlecht form and stats

The visitors are W1-D2-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Pro League.

Anderlecht played 2-2 against OH Leuven in their previous match. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Club Brugge wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

Drawing 2-2 against OH Leuven after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager V. Kompany needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Anderlecht have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 8 goals from 4 away matches. The Anderlecht manager V. Kompany has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Kortrijk victories, two draws and six Anderlecht wins. Over/under statistics; eight of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
