Arsenal v Anderlecht Betting Tips and Predictions with Preview

Arsenal v Anderlecht betting tips and predictions for this week’s Champions League match and expert free predictions to get winnings bets.

This week plays host to the much awaited return of Champions League football. Whilst Arsene Wenger’s team have shown particularly good form of late, they come up against an Anderlecht side desperate to find form and in dire need of the points. 

Group D happens to not be one of the most exciting Champions League groups this season. However it is clearly split with the superior sides Dortmund and Arsenal, bossing the group whilst leaving the likes of Anderlecht and Galatasaray to linger behind.  As the North Londoners have already beaten Anderlecht away this campaign, they should be full of confidence back on home turf at the Emirates and it is hard to see past a home win for our Arsenal v Anderlecht prediction.

Arsenal simply look like a team in good form. Since last beating the Belgians, their defence has stood firm and Alexis Sanchez just hasn’t stopped scoring – it is hard to ignore the Chilean for our tips and so we are backing him be the first goalscorer in Arsenal v Anderlecht at odds of 4/1 with Coral.

Although Sunderland and Burnley are two teams that the Gunners would have been expected beat regardless of their form, Arsene Wenger’s side have nevertheless proved that they can grind out the victories when needed.  That should stand them in good stead as they face Anderlecht mid-week, yet Arsenal will still have to continue life without long-term injury victim Mesut Ozil, and perhaps without Theo Walcott, who has only just returned to first team action after a lengthy lay off.

The Premier League side will also have to count on make-shift centre back Nacho Monreal to keep solid at the back with Per Mertesacker. Wenger can still really on Danny Welbeck to lead the line however, as his side look to take Dortmund off the group’s top spot.

For Anderlecht, one draw and two losses from this Champions League campaign doesn’t look too impressive. They have done well to keep above bottom place, but that simply won’t be enough for the Belgians to expect a win this week. Led by the Albanian Besnik Hasi, the Purple & Whites have only notched one win in their last five matches in all competitions. Aleksandar Mitrovic’s and Gohi Cyriac’s goals haven’t been enough for the Belgians who have simply been too leaky at the back. Since selling Cheikhou Kouyate to fellow Londoners West Ham in the summer, Hasi’s side have lacked that control in the middle of the park and someone to break up play. This should inspire Arsenal, who will certainly look to take control of the midfield.

Whilst Anderlecht will prove determined customers for the Gunners to deal with, like with Sunderland and Burnley, this should be another stress free three points for Arsenal and our final Arsenal v Anderlecht prediction is for Arsenal to win to nil at odds of 7/5 with Betfred – if you open a new Betfred account today you will get double odds for your first bet so you will get 14/5 for an Arsenal win to nil.
