Anderlecht vs Standard Liege Prediction and Betting Tips | February 26, 2023

Anderlecht will entertain Standard Liege at Lotto Park in the Belgian Pro League on Sunday (February 26).

With the top spot now out of their reach, both sides will strive to make it to the championship round. Anderlecht are in ninth place but are level on 35 points with tenth-placed St. Truidense, making the upcoming clash crucial for the hosts.

The Purple & White are the most successful team in Belgium with 35 record top-flight titles but have not tasted victory since their last triumph in 2016–17. They finished third last season and also failed to win the Belgian Cup. They have qualified for the UEFA Europa Conference League Round of 16 this season, though.

Standard, meanwhile, are sixth with 41 points and are almost certain of qualifying for the playoffs. However, with a couple of teams hot on their heels, a slip-up could prove costly. The visitors will hope to pull off a shock win at Lotto Park to boost their playoff hopes.

Les Rouches trounced Anderlecht 5-0 when the sides last met. Standard, meanwhile, made headlines last weekend when they stunned second-placed Union Saint-Gilloise 4-2 away. It was their second win in five games and their sixth away victory this term.
