Anderlecht hosts Eupen in the second leg of the Belgian Cup semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, March 3rd at Lotto Park (Anderlecht)
Anderlecht has always been one of the strongest clubs in Belgium. But in recent years, it has been far from showing high results. The Purple-Whites won their last champion’s title back in 2017. Not everything is good in the current season. The urgent task for Vincent Kompany's team is to finish in the top four in the first part of the season in order to get in the championship group. A draw against Leuven in the last round did not help much in achieving this goal. But of course, this does not mean that Anderlecht is ready to sacrifice the Belgian Cup, as it is also a trophy. Beyond that, the Purple-Whites tied 2-2 in the first away leg, and now they will have an advantage in the form of a home pitch.

Eupen is one of the farm clubs of Paris Saint-Germain. But so far, all that this cooperation has given is the opportunity to play in the Belgian top division. In the previous, the team finished in a modest 12th place. And the Pandas are at about the same level in the current draw. However, they have recently been on a streak without victories, which brought them closer to the danger zone. But interestingly, Eupen managed to tie against Union Saint-Gilloise in the last round (0-0). As for the Belgian Cup, Eupen eliminated such opponents as Dender, Zulte Waregem, and Mechelen. And having quickly conceded in the first semifinal leg, the Pandas even took the lead. But experienced Rafaelov converted the second penalty in the match in the 95th minute and set the final score of 2-2.
Anderlecht could not beat Eupen in four head-to-head matches in a row, taking into account the mentioned first game in the Belgian Cup semifinals. But just three days after it, the Purple-Whites hammered the Pandas at home with a 4-1 score. Now Anderlecht is in much better shape and will play at home. We bet on the victory of the hosts with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Anderlecht to win with -1.5 handicap
