Anderlecht vs KVC Westerlo Prediction

Anderlecht host Westerlo on 31 October 2026 at 22:45 in a Jupiler Pro League clash at Lotto Park. The hosts arrive bruised after a 4-0 defeat to Gent but showed their home credentials with a 3-0 win over Waregem before that. Anderlecht's defence has tightened at home, conceding just 0.50 goals per game across their last four matches on their own pitch. Westerlo played out a 4-4 draw with Beveren last time out, a result that masks their structural weakness: they've shipped 2.10 goals per game over their last ten matches despite averaging 2.60 in attack. Onia Seke and Maamar push for Anderlecht starts, while Camara and Hey are sidelined through injury. Dylan Ourega is doubtful for Westerlo after a knock, and Reda Laalaoui serves a suspension.

Form and H2H

Anderlecht have won seven of thirteen previous meetings against Westerlo, including a 3-0 victory in 2015 and a 4-0 rout in December 2014. The head-to-head record tilts decisively toward the hosts. Over their last ten matches, Anderlecht have posted five wins and one draw at home, averaging 1.40 goals for and 1.00 against. Westerlo's away form shows five wins, two draws, and three losses across the same span, with an attacking average of 2.61 goals but a leaky defence conceding 2.09 per game. Eleven of the thirteen H2H encounters have produced at least three goals, a pattern that reflects both sides' attacking intent.
