Elimination from the Champions League forced Anderlecht to reconsider their approach and had 10-match undefeated run that ended with 1-2 loss to Westerlo at home. It comes as surprise, but all defeats Anderlecht recorded at own turf while six away games got them three wins and three draws.
Saint-Etienne and Anderlecht haven’t faced one another earlier before. The opponents show different approach to the football. The hosts prefer to play solid defensively while the visiotrs score and allow quite number of goals. We should expect the hosts to have advantage and be closer to sealing three points.
Prediction for the match: Saint-Etienne to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
