Anderlecht are strong favourites at home to a struggling Kortrijk side, but the best value lies in backing an Anderlecht clean sheet: 'Both Teams to Score – No' at 2.15 (edge +11.5pts) and 'Anderlecht Clean Sheet – Yes' at 2.50 (edge +15pts).

Avoid Over 2.5 goals and first-half Over 0.5 goals, as the odds are too short relative to our model.
