Form Guide

RSC Anderlecht II — last 10 games: 3W 3D 4L, averaging 1.20 points per game. Last five: D D W W L. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.50 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

RSC Anderlecht II's form when playing at home: 3W 2D 5L across their last 10 home games (1.10 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.60 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

Looking at their last 10 matches, Francs Borains stand at 2W 1D 7L — 0.70 PPG. Last five: L L W L W. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 2.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.30 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

When travelling, Francs Borains have posted 4W 3D 3L from their last 10 away outings — 1.50 PPG. Away from home they average 1.60 goals scored and 2.10 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 1.50 exceeds their overall 0.70 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

On current form, RSC Anderlecht II have the edge — a 0.50 PPG advantage (1.20 vs 0.70) represents a meaningful gap. That momentum makes them the form-based pick, though if the outright price looks short, Draw No Bet is worth comparing.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Both teams have scored in 80% of RSC Anderlecht II's games and 60% of Francs Borains's (from RSC Anderlecht II's last 10 home games and Francs Borains's last 10 away games) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

Head to Head

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 2 H2H matches, RSC Anderlecht II have won 0, Francs Borains 1, with 1 draw — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture — the 2 H2H matches in our data averaged 3.5 per game, which gives Over 2.5 a solid head-to-head foundation. The most recent of those, on 30 Mar 2024, ended RSC Anderlecht II 3–3 Francs Borains — a draw.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.5 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects RSC Anderlecht II 1.90 xG and Francs Borains 1.52 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 1.037 / defence 1.048 | Francs Borains attack 1.026 / defence 1.201. League average goals — home 1.527 / away 1.414. Francs Borains's defence rating of 1.201 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing RSC Anderlecht II's projected output up. Data: built from RSC Anderlecht II's last 44 games and Francs Borains's last 44.

Result probabilities: RSC Anderlecht II 47% | Draw 22% | Francs Borains 31%. Fair-value odds: RSC Anderlecht II 2.14 | Draw 4.51 | Francs Borains 3.22. RSC Anderlecht II hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (22%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 66% | BTTS Yes probability 66% | Total xG 3.42. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 66% — a total xG of 3.42 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 66% — both xG figures (1.90 / 1.52) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is RSC Anderlecht II at 47% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 22% draw probability, Draw No Bet on RSC Anderlecht II offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.42 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 66% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (RSC Anderlecht II's last 10 home games and Francs Borains's last 10 away games) averaging 3.6 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 66% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: RSC Anderlecht II 80% (last 10 home games) | Francs Borains 60% (last 10 away games).
