Anderlecht hosts Genk in round 16 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Friday, December 11th at Lotto Park (Anderlecht)
Anderlecht is going round in circles under Vincent Kompany. However, the Purple-Whites should be grateful to the legendary footballer, who finally hung his boots up not so long ago. He saved the team from financial problems by pouring in his own funds. Nevertheless, his attempts to train turn sour. Perhaps Vincent is ready to admit it. Recently, he has asked journalists to stop comparing him with Pep Guardiola. In his new role, he is unable to force his players to show a consistently good game. 1-2 victories are replaced by streaks of unsuccessful meetings. After 3-1 with Kortrijk and 1-0 with Antwerp, Anderlecht has only three points scored in four rounds (a defeat to Beerschot and three draws).

Genk is a pleasant surprise this season. The Smurfs are 4-time national champions, and the last title was taken in 2019. Then Philippe Clement moved to Brugge. In parallel with the departure of the successful mentor, there were sales of leaders (including the sale of Ukrainian Malinovsky to Atalanta). Against the background of the coaching leapfrog, it was not surprising that the club fell to 7th place. In autumn, nothing has changed in terms of stability. Genk showed modest results and began to gain points regularly only in October when Jess Torup headed the team. But a month later, Jess left his post, having decided to return to his homeland, Copenhagen. Fortunately, a week later the management of Genk managed to lure van den Brom out of Utrecht. He won the Jupiler League in 2013, but with Anderlecht. Under him, the winning streak of the Smurfs has already reached seven matches in a row, and at least four goals were scored in four of them. After 15 games, Genk even took the lead and outranked Brugge, which spent a lot of energy in the Champions League.
Last December, Anderlecht was able to beat Genk at home. That defeat interrupted the Smurfs’ impressive streak of six victories and one draw. Now Anderlecht will also play at home, but it seems that a draw will be its maximum achievement because the visitors have gained amazing shape. We think Genk will have more chances of gaining three points.
Prediction for the match: Genk to win with 0.0 handicap
