Anderlecht hosts Club Brugge KV in round 5 of the Belgian Jupiler League championship group. The match will be played on Thursday, May 20th at Lotto Park (Anderlecht)
Anderlecht is the main historical grandee of Belgian football. The Purple and Whites have as many as 34 champion’s titles, not including a whole bunch of cups. But for the last time, Anderlecht won gold medals back in 2017. The previous season was the peak of recession — only 8th place and no participation in European cups. Now Vincent Kompany is more experienced and stable as a mentor, and he was able to lead his native club to 3rd place in the regular season. But the results are much more modest in the championship group, where only the leaders participate. At first, Anderlecht gained three draws in a row, and the last round ended in a defeat to Genk. The Purple and Whites lost the chances not only of the title but also the vice-championship. What should we expect from the team now?

After Philippe Clement headed Club Brugge KV, it became the main grandee of local club football. The team won the championship with a huge margin in 2020, although it was suspended ahead of schedule. And the current regular season was won with a comfortable gap. Brugge earned 76 points in 34 rounds, outranking the second Antwerp by as many as 16 points. But according to the regulations, this amount was divided in half before the matches in the championship group. Genk tried to take advantage of this and gained 10 out of 12 possible points in four games of the additional draw. Moreover, it defeated Brugge with a 3-0 score. Beyond that, the leader gained only draws in matches against Anderlecht and Antwerp. However, the Black-and-Blues managed to pull themselves together at the decisive moment and earned three points in the game against the Great Old, retaining a 5-point lead over Genk.
Anderlecht not only gained a draw in May — it also beat the leader at home in April (2-0). Before that, the Black-and-Blues did not lose eight head-to-head matches in a row, including a streak of six consecutive victories. The upcoming game of these rivals should be quite spectacular, as both of them need to win. We bet on Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
