14-04-2006 20:30 Anderlecht - Westerlo

Well, everything but a home win will be strange in this case. Westerlo, without it's strong defender Van Kerckhoven and many injured defenders is just too weak for this Anderlecht. The team from the capital can't count on his scoring machine Frutos, bad thing but they still have Serhat Akin and Mbo Mpenza to score against a ???little??? team.

What happened last week with Anderlecht? They played in Charleroi, scored a very early goal and they thought that they had won. At the end, it was the last minute of the match, substitued Akpala scored the equaliser. Whole Anderlecht was ANGRY and dissapointed, Standard is the new leader in the competition! Anderlecht played OK whole game, they got several good chances, Goor hit the bar, Goor missed a big chance etc.. At the end of the second half they began to be nervous and they conceeded a goal.

Westerlo lost his game as expekted against Standard. Standard scored already after 11 seconds, it was a big fault of westerlo goalkeeper Gaspercic who just gave pass to standard player Negouai. After that goal, they played very slow, clearly without motivation, but they still had several chances to score the equaliser. After the second goal of Standard (beautyfull free-kick scored by Rapaic) Westerlo was K.O.

Well, whole Belgium knows that Westerlo has no chance in Constant Van Den Stock stadion. Anderlecht still in running for the championship, and they MUST win. If we compare both squads, Anderlecht has much better team than Westerlo. Westerlo plays for nothing, and with many injured players it will be very difficult. No chance for Westerlo here!

Westerlo: Niko Van Kerckhoven is suspended. Wagemakers got an injure in the game against Standard and he is out till the end of the season. Elejiko,Verheyen, Scasny and Beloufa (3 defenders!) are out!!!
Anderlecht: Juhasz and Kompany are out till the end of the season. Strikers Frutos and Iahchtchuk are injured
