Anderlecht and Westerlo will kick off their 2025–26 Belgian top-flight campaign on Sunday, both sides looking to make a winning start.
The hosts had a disappointing end to last season. Hasi and co finished the campaign with four consecutive defeats. This included a 2:1 loss in the Belgian Cup final. Their response during pre-season was positive, as they avoided defeat in all six friendlies (four wins).
Anderlecht’s first real test heading into the new campaign came on Thursday, when they hosted the Swedish side Häcken for the first leg of the second qualifying round of the Champions League. The Purple and Whites passed that test with flying colours, winning 1:0, and will be looking to replicate that result in the Belgian Pro League this weekend.
Westerlo had a better end to last season, avoiding defeat in eight of their final nine games. The Fighting Roosters initially struggled to maintain this form during pre-season, but secured four wins from their season friendlies.
Anderlecht vs Westerlo Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Even though I am backing the hosts to win, they are unlikely to go the full 90 minutes without conceding. In fact, Anderlecht have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last five Belgian Pro League games. Four of those fixtures ended with three or more goals.
Westerlo also have a strong goal-scoring record in matches against Anderlecht. The visitors found the net in each of the last four head-to-head meetings, with bets on over 2.5 goals winning in all but one of those encounters.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
