Antwerp hosts Anderlecht in round 21 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Friday, December 27th at Bosuilstadion (Antwerp)
Antwerp holds a very strong season. The team won in 11 of 20 rounds of the championship and lost only four times. Having scored 38 points, it takes 2nd place in the standings. Leading Brugge is ahead by eight points. The Great Old has one of the strongest attacking lines in the league (39 goals scored), and only the leader has more. Gent, which is third in the standings, has the same amount. But the defense of Antwerp leaves much to be desired - 25 goals have been conceded. And this is the worst indicator in the top six but good for the proposed outcome.

Anderlecht fails for the 2nd season in a row. It has only six victories after 20 rounds. The team takes 10th place in the standings, but it is certainly not that indicator, which the fans and the management expected. However, the goal difference of the capital’s team is very good for a proposed prediction (24-22).
Yes, Antwerp is 2nd in the standings, and Anderlecht is 10th. Yes, the Great Old will play on its pitch. Still, Anderlecht can be dismissed neither in this match nor in any other. It can make a hit at any time and in the game against any opponent. Examples? In the last round, it beat the current champion Genk. Before that, there were two draws with fifth Standard Liege and fourth Charleroi. A little earlier Anderlecht tied with Gent, which is third in the standings. So, let’s bypass the search for the winner, without even starting it. We may risk betting on the exchange of goals. All factors are favorable for such an outcome. I have already said about the goal difference of these teams. I will add that the visitors played with the exchange of goals 11 times, and the hosts did it in 15 out of 20 rounds. When playing with each other, opponents simply consider it their duty to score the opponent first, and the overall result will come later. Each team scored in 10 of the last 13 head-to-head meetings. I think nothing will change now, and goals will fly into both nets.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
