ANDERLECHT – MALAGA PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Anderlecht sits second in the Belgian Pro League on 19 points after 9 games. They are yet to lose a game but have drawn 4 matches which leaves them 2 points behind leaders Club Brugge. They had to come through two qualifying rounds to make it to the Champions League group stages and beat Ekranas and AEL on the way. Their first group stage game was an excellent draw away to Milan in the San Siro, a result that is among Anderlecht’s best.

Malaga has started in great form this season in la liga and are currently in 3^rd place with 14 points from 6 matches. They have won 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions and 4 of their 6 wins this season have been by 2 or more goals. 3 of their last 5 games have been over 2.5 Goals.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Anderlecht were not expected by many to even make it to the Champions League this year but they won two qualifiers and have already picked up a very important away point at Milan. With a few of the teams in the group struggling for form they could cause a big shock and qualify for the knock out stages if they get a bit of luck. They will be counting on the goals from striker Mbokani who already has 6 in 7 league matches so far.

Malaga were a team that were expected to struggle following the sale of two of their top players in Cazorla and Rondon but they have proved the doubters wrong and behind an almost impregnable defence which has the best regard in la liga they sit in the top 3. There are no individual stars in the team, with no player with more than 2 league goals but the team is working hard together and have great self-belief.

ANDERLECHT – MALAGA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Malaga are small favourites here despite being the away side and I think there is plenty of value in them at 2.5 with William Hill.

In their last 5 matches they’ve won 4 conceding just 1 goal throughout, and scoring 11. Their form and confidence are sky high.

ANDERLECHT – MALAGA PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Malaga are given the smallest of handicaps by the Asian market with the line set at Malaga -0.25 and top price at 2.05 with Pinnacle.

This bet gives you half your stake back if the match ends in a draw, hence the lower odds than win only. It’s an option if you feel Malaga are strongest but aren’t fully confident they’ll manage the win. I feel the 1x2 is greater value overall however so stick there if you think Malaga can get the win.

ANDERLECHT – MALAGA PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Anderlecht’s last 5 matches have seen average goals of 2.4 while Malaga has seen the same average over their last 5 matches also.

The under is quite a strong favourite in the 2.5 goal market and I believe it is the likely outcome and will be visiting BetVictor to back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.85
