Westerlo, Recent FormThe Westerlo players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Charleroi recently, that ended in a 3-2 defeat. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Charleroi's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Jonas De Roeck will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They've had a terrible run of form at Het Kuipje Stadion recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win. It's fair to say that their form in the league has not been good this season, given they have clocked up just 2 wins from 15 matches.
On an individual basis, Nicolas Madsen has scored in each of Westerlo's last 3 league games.
Anderlecht, Recent FormHaving secured a 2-1 home win against RWD Molenbeek in their latest league match, Anderlecht will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. In that game they had 74% possession and managed 25 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to RWD Molenbeek who had 7 attempts and 2 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 16 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Brian Riemer will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 7 goals in the same period. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 14 of their 15 games this season.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Anders Dreyer will be looking forward to more goals after clocking up an impressive 6 goals in the past 6 league matches for Anderlecht.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 2-1 win for Anderlecht.
The Westerlo defence has struggled in front of its own fans when Paars-wit have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 meetings at Het Kuipje Stadion. When Anderlecht are away to De Kempeneers in the league, they know how to find the net, with 8 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2.67 per game.
Westerlo manager Jonas De Roeck has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Josimar Alcócer (Unknown), Nacer Chadli (Muscle), Ilias El Hari (Knock) and Ravil Tagir (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Majeed Ashimeru (Muscle) and Benito Raman (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Brian Riemer will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
