Westerlo vs Anderlecht Preview

Westerlo are pushing to avoid the drop but need to be flawless in the remainder of their games to stay out of hot water. They dropped five points in their last three matches, which didn’t help their cause. The upcoming meeting could be as difficult, considering the strength of the visitors. However, Westerlo have troubled Anderlecht in recent times.

De Kemphanen sit 13th on 31 points in the standings, right in the relegation zone. They will participate in the relegation playoffs if they remain in this zone by the end of the regular season. This game is crucial for Westerlo, as a loss would make it very difficult for them to reach the European playoffs.

Anderlecht recovered from their unexpected 2-0 home defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise in their previous game by beating Standard Liège 2-0 lately. The visitors can no longer win the regular season, with Genk 14 points clear at the summit. However, they would qualify for the champions' playoffs if they keep their fourth place on 48 points.

Purple & White are enduring a trophy drought since 2016–17, when they won their last league title. They still stand a chance this term, as they are sure to participate in the champions' play-offs. Anderlecht are eying the second spot, occupied by Club Brugge on 53 points. Anderlecht would need two more wins, with other results going in their favor.
