Current Form

RSC Anderlecht II's record over their last 10 games: 2W 3D 5L (0.90 PPG). Last five: D L L D L. Offensively they are averaging 1.90 goals per game, with 1.90 conceded. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.

At home, RSC Anderlecht II have gone 4W 3D 3L in their last 10 home games (1.50 PPG). They are averaging 2.10 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.50 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.90 — RSC Anderlecht II are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Lokeren-Temse (all games): 5W 2D 3L across their last 10 — 1.70 points per game. Last five: W W L W W. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Lokeren-Temse arrive in superior form — a 0.80 PPG advantage (1.70 vs 0.90) that offsets much of the home-ground benefit. The away side are the form pick, with draw protection the sensible way to manage the home-field uncertainty.

The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 1 H2H match in our data, RSC Anderlecht II edge it 1 wins to 0, with 0 draws. Neither side has a commanding advantage. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 1 H2H match in our data have been tight, averaging just 1.0 goals per game — a meaningful input for the Under 2.5 market. The most recent of those, on 23 Nov 2024, ended RSC Anderlecht II 1–0 Lokeren-Temse — a RSC Anderlecht II win.

With a balanced win record and just 1.0 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.

Trading & In-Play

RSC Anderlecht II — key trading statistics (last 26 games, 12 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 92% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; of the 7 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 57%; of the 12 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 50%; BTTS occurs in 75% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 54%.

Lokeren-Temse — key trading statistics (last 26 games, 12 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 83% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; of the 6 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; BTTS occurs in 42% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 42% of games (away games); they fail to score in 42% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — RSC Anderlecht II 73% versus Lokeren-Temse 38%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (RSC Anderlecht II 69% | Lokeren-Temse 42%). Note also that Lokeren-Temse surrender HT leads in 33% of cases while RSC Anderlecht II recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 50% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects RSC Anderlecht II 1.83 xG and Lokeren-Temse 1.29 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: RSC Anderlecht II attack 1.242 / defence 1.183 | Lokeren-Temse attack 0.852 / defence 1.071. League average goals — home 1.376 / away 1.279. Data: built from RSC Anderlecht II's last 56 games and Lokeren-Temse's last 26.

Result probabilities: RSC Anderlecht II 50% | Draw 23% | Lokeren-Temse 27%. Fair-value odds: RSC Anderlecht II 2.00 | Draw 4.37 | Lokeren-Temse 3.70. RSC Anderlecht II hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS Yes probability 61% | Total xG 3.12. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.12 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% — both xG figures (1.83 / 1.29) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, RSC Anderlecht II are the pick at 50% — moderate model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Lokeren-Temse (1.70 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on RSC Anderlecht II if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.12 combined xG gives a 60% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (RSC Anderlecht II's last 10 home games and Lokeren-Temse's last 10 away games) averaging 2.9 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 61%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: RSC Anderlecht II 70% (last 10 home games) | Lokeren-Temse 50% (last 10 away games).
