Let’s start by looking at the hosts, Royal Antwerp, who have lost each of their last six matches, conceding 13 goals in the process.
To make matters worse for Antwerp, they have lost nine of their previous 10 games, failing to find the back of the net in six of those encounters.
Royal Antwerp made a hugely impressive start to the season, avoiding defeat in each of their opening 12 home league games to put themselves in the title conversation.
However, they have managed to win just one of their seven home league games since then, suffering five damaging defeats along the way.
Like Antwerp, Anderlecht started the season strongly, losing just two of their opening 29 league matches to take control of the title race.
Since then, however, RSCA have struggled for consistency in the league, recording four wins, two draws and four defeats in their last 10 encounters.
Following a four-game unbeaten streak of two wins and two draws, Anderlecht suffered a 1-0 defeat to title rivals Club Brugge last time out.
It is also worth noting that RSCA have failed to win any of their previous four away league outings, suffering back-to-back defeats before recording successive draws.
Head-to-head: Royal Antwerp have failed to win any of their last eight league meetings with Anderlecht, recording three draws and five losses in that time.
Trends also show that each of their past five meetings have produced under 2.5 goals, with four of those clashes serving up under 1.5 goals.
Team news: The hosts look set to be without injured trio Jean Butez, Kobe Corbanie and Bjorn Engles for the final game of the season.
The visitors are also expected to be missing three players due to injury, with Thorgan Hazard, Jan Vertonghen and Majeed Ashimeru on the sidelines.
When you couple Antwerp’s current form with their recent record against Anderlecht, all the signs point towards another win for the visitors.
Forebet predicts that Anderlecht will register a low-scoring victory over Royal Antwerp, with the visitors also expected to keep a clean sheet.
