Betfair Live Video: Mitrovic to shine for visitors Anderlecht

Mitrovic is enjoying a good run of form this season

Lewis Watson is back to preview some of Saturday's Betfair Live Video offerings - Belgium and Portugal are this weeks focus.

Waasland-Beveren vs Anderlecht
Saturday 17:00

With a bleak, pointless and nearly goalless record against Anderlecht an unavoidable truth coming into Saturday's game, WB will still arrive at the Freethiel Stadium looking to spoil the Purple and White party - as they try and keep their head above water at the foot of the Pro League standings.

Since gaining promotion at the end of the 2011-12 season, WB have had a tricky, yet successful time of avoiding the drop back into the second tier, and with back-to-back wins for the second time this campaign Ronny van Remoortel looks in a good position for survival in his first season in Beveren. 

Despite losing eleven of their nineteen fixtures so far, the hosts have succeeded where other strugglers have failed in turning likely draws into wins. With six victories, including an impressive 4-1 away demolishing of Zulte, WB find themselves six points off the root of the table, and only a couple of wins off a place in the top half of the table.

Despite being overshadowed by the imperious form of Club Brugge this campaign, Anderlecht are still in a comfortable position sitting just four points off the leaders. Going for their fourth title in a row, Besnik Hasi's side have drawn far too many matches so far, and despite winning only nine from nineteen the Belgian heavyweights are still in striking distance of top spot.

Enjoying his second season in the Pro League, 20-year-old Aleksander Mitrovic is continuing to cause waves at the highest level. With nine goals already off the back of his sixteen goal season last campaign, the Serbian marksman is already attracting attention for some of Europe's bigger clubs, with Alan Pardew apparently being interested in bringing the youngster to St. James' Park.

The three previous meetings have finished 3-0, 2-0, 1-0 all to Anderlecht, and despite the temptation to route for the 0-0 to complete WB's gradual nullifying of the Anderlecht attack, an away win is fully expected this weekend the Freethiel Stadium.

Recommended Bets:
Back Anderlecht to win @ 1.664/6
Back over 2.5 goals @ 1.9210/11

Estoril vs Vitoria Guimaraes
Saturday 20:15

Sitting in third spot with an identical record to Porto this season, the surprise package of Vitoria Guimaraes are looking good value in the 2014-15 Primeira Liga. With just the one defeat (albeit a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Maritimo), 'Os Branquinhos' are continuing to put pressure on leaders Benfica with just four points separating them from the reigning champions. 

With a trip to an unpredictable Estoril on Saturday awaiting Rui Vitoria's men, three points will likely give them a needed bit of breathing space with Braga hosting sixth placed Pacos on Monday. 

Despite lingering in eleventh place, Estoril have hit an impressive run of form, and through avoiding defeat for the last six outings have managed to claw themselves into relative part-time safety.

Albeit far from prolific, Cape Verde striker Jailton Kuca has started life in the Primeira Liga in impressive form since his move from second tier side Chaves. With five goals in thirteen outings, the 25-year-old has managed to breathe life into a side struggling to live up to the expectations of last seasons fourth placed finish - with a Europa League run proving a costly distraction. 

With the record books splitting this one down the middle, form would point to an away win based on last seasons fixtures, and with Guimaraes trying to keep on the tails of the big two expect a solid display from the visitors.

Recommended Bets:
Back Vitoria Guimaraes to win @ 2.26/5
Back Vitoria Guimaraes to win 2-1 @ 14.013/1
