Anderlecht conceded first in 3 of 4 away games: can leaders Gent extend a 7-game unbeaten run at home?

Anderlecht have scored just 0.75 goals per game away from home over 4 games, failed to score in 2 of them and conceded first in 3; they were also behind at half-time in 3. Leaders Gent are unbeaten in 8 (7 wins, 1 draw, 15 scored, 4 conceded) and scored first in all 4 home games (1.75 scored, 0.50 conceded per game). Anderlecht's wins in their last five came against lower-table sides Kortrijk (18th), Mechelen (14th), Zulte (9th) and Cercle (17th); their one serious test ended in a 0-3 loss at Union. Gent beat Club Brugge (2nd) 2-1 and drew 1-1 at Genk (7th). On Thursday Gent lost 0-2 at Braga in Europe and winger Balikwisha got injured; Vergara (the surprise of the season) and Ngom (probably out for the season) are missing, and Vernemmen has had surgery. Anderlecht are without Camara, Hey, Sardella and Maamar (suspended).

Gent's home defence and Anderlecht's away scoring problem make the home win the lead pick; with Gent's European fatigue and injuries adding some risk, the double chance 1X is a safe option too. On goals, neither side has had a game with over 3.5, BTTS lands in only 25% of Anderlecht games (50% for Gent), so I like BTTS – No and Under 2.5.
