Belgian Football Cup, quarter-finals. Anderlecht is a team that currently holds an unusual 10th place in the Belgian league, although it has always been among the elite of Belgian football. Meanwhile, the visitors Club Brugge are currently in first place and are strongly dominating Belgian football.
Anderlecht is going through a very difficult period in the league and may not reach a place this season that would guarantee playing in European tournaments next season. Knowing this, the team should make great efforts to perform as well as possible in the cup. However, they are facing Club Brugge, who should be considered favorites to advance. Looking at this season's statistics, Anderlecht has scored and conceded 22 goals in 19 matches, while Club Brugge is showing the best offense in the league this season with 41 goals to their name. It is worth mentioning that the meetings between these teams usually end in high-scoring matches – in 6 out of the last 8 games, more than 2 goals were scored. Today, Anderlecht will be without Sandler, Kompany, Sardella, Nasri, Gerkens, and Verschaeren, while the visitors will be missing Mitrovic and Diatta. There are no major unexpected losses in the teams, and we should see strong line-ups on the field today.
So, the Belgian Football Cup, we believe that this match is an opportunity for Anderlecht to delight their fans and they should at least score a goal. Club Brugge, who are favorites to win, should not close in defense either, and knowing how much potential they have in attack, we can expect goals. The value of the bet is also added by the fact that this is a cup match, where advancement will be determined by a single game, so if one team scores a goal, the other will be forced to try to turn the match in their favor here and now. Good luck and enjoy the football!
