Anderlecht vs Mouscron Prediction & Betting tips
Anderlecht may open matchday four with a home game that is easy on paper. After a perfect start, Moeskroen will receive a relegation candidate who started with zero in nine. So easy victory?
Anderlecht :
For the first time trainer Hein Vanhaezebrouck started as coach with nine out of nine in the season. But Anderlecht did a hold-up at Charleroi last weekend. After the flashy first two games, this purple-white is not yet an unstoppable machine. For Hein the ideal time to temper premature euphoria and put Jan and everyone back on the ground with both feet: ‘This is not the Anderlecht that I want to see.’
The euphoria after the big victories against Kortrijk and Ostend was already there, but Charleroi was a bigger test. Felice Mazzu countered Hein’s system perfectly. The long crosspasses to launch the flanks were removed and purple-white did not get a meter of space. The Carolos bluffed RSCA and Kaveh Rezaei scored after a sharp counter: 1-0. With a penalty it came alongside and in the second half the flattered could take the three points home.
In 2018 Anderlecht already contested twenty-two matches and only the zero was held twice. Even Eupen does better with three clean sheets. Yet Purple-White also thanked a lot to his goalkeeper Thomas Didillon. He was the discovery of this match with crucial saves on a striker from Rezaei and a free kick by Roamin Grange. In the first two matches Didillon was never put to the test, but now he proved his worth. It grows, but it will not always be able to save the furniture.
Mouscron :
Mouscron started the season very badly with a dreaded zero in nine. Two home defeats with the smallest difference and already fearing, together with Eupen, the fights for that penultimate place. With the wealthy Thaïse investor Phubate Piempongsant, new blood flows through Mouscron. According to chairman Declerck, new investments can still be expected in the club, in order to strengthen the group of players as well.
Mouscron got Antwerp on the floor on the previous matchday. Antwerp dominated until and yet it was very difficult to really trouble goalkeeper Olivier Werner. The game image remained unchanged for 80 minutes. Then Simen Juklerod put himself on the left, swept the ball in front of goal and whoever else buffered William Owusu hard. Afterwards they got chances for the reassuring double lead, but no more was scored.
Frank Defays saw his team fully dominated in the second half. ‘We won no more duels and we could not keep up with the ball’, he said after the match. The trainer waits with impatience until his board gives him new players. ‘The team wants to, but can not do it for now. Reinforcements had been announced, but they are not there yet. We continue to wait for the right profiles. But the later they come, the more complex it becomes. ”
