Westerlo
- Westerlo are currently 13th in the First Division A table with 17 points from 16 matches, which has been a tough start to the 2025-2026 campaign.
- Issame Charai took charge in July 2025 and has tried to establish a defence-first, pragmatic style of football that is organised, compact and structured in the 4-2-3-1 system, with quick, vertical counter-attacks the key.
- Westerlo’s form is poor - 0 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their last 5 First Division A matches.
- They are coming off consecutive draws with a 2-2 away draw at FCV Dender EH last weekend followed by a 0-0 stalemate at home to Gent, and this KVC Westerlo vs RSC Anderlecht prediction will hinge on whether they can improve their attacking output.
Anderlecht
- RSC Anderlecht are placed 3rd in the league table with 31 points from 16 games, 14 more than KVC Westerlo.
- Anderlecht have won their last 4 matches and 4 of their last 5 First Division A games.
- Besnik Hasi was appointed as boss in March 2025 and has brought a new identity to the Brussels club - they are a high-tempo, possession-based side that like to play football and can be exceptionally productive on the ball, which is an important factor for our KVC Westerlo vs RSC Anderlecht betting tips.
Head-to-Head
- The last two matches between these sides have been split (1 win each, 0 draws).
- The recent H2H record suggests that Anderlecht will win this fixture - they thrashed Westerlo 5-2 at home four months ago in First Division A action - but this will be a different test, as they are the away team.
Key Players
-
Key players to watch:

Betting Insights
- The bookmakers have Anderlecht as favourites, but they look too short at 2.19 with Westerlo priced at 3.15 and the draw at 3.64, which seems to be the most valuable pick in the 90 minutes market according to the latest KVC Westerlo vs RSC Anderlecht betting tips.
- Both teams to score looks overpriced at 1.49 in this one.
Prediction
- we expect the visitors to dominate the ball, but for Westerlo to be a threat on the counter.
- This match-up always has something for the neutral viewer and with the two teams averaging 1.5 goals per game in their four most recent encounters we’re happy to take Both Teams To Score.
