Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.60 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.

Looking at their last 10 matches, RSC Anderlecht II stand at 2W 3D 5L — 0.90 PPG. Last five: L L L D L. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.70 — 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 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

On the road, RSC Anderlecht II have gone 4W 2D 4L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.40 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road.

Head to Head

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 4 H2H matches, K. Lierse S.K. have won 1, RSC Anderlecht II 0, with 3 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects K. Lierse S.K. 1.99 xG and RSC Anderlecht II 1.35 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: K. Lierse S.K. attack 1.284 / defence 1.155 | RSC Anderlecht II attack 0.882 / defence 1.171. League average goals — home 1.322 / away 1.329. K. Lierse S.K. carry an above-average attack rating of 1.284 — their 1.99 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from K. Lierse S.K.'s last 50 games and RSC Anderlecht II's last 50.

Result probabilities: K. Lierse S.K. 52% | Draw 22% | RSC Anderlecht II 26%. Fair-value odds: K. Lierse S.K. 1.92 | Draw 4.60 | RSC Anderlecht II 3.84. K. Lierse S.K. hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (22%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 65% | BTTS Yes probability 64% | Total xG 3.34. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 65% — a total xG of 3.34 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 64% — both xG figures (1.99 / 1.35) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is K. Lierse S.K. at 52% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 22% draw probability, Draw No Bet on K. Lierse S.K. offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Lierse S.K.'s last 10 home games and RSC Anderlecht II's last 10 away games) averaging 3.2 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 4.5 goals per game across 4 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 64%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: K. Lierse S.K. 80% (last 10 home games) | RSC Anderlecht II 50% (last 10 away games).
