Team News: RSC Anderlecht
Jan Vertonghen (Overstretching), Killian Sardella (Hamstring muscle injury), Samuel Edozie (minor knock) and Elyess Dao (Ankle injury) are not available for RSC Anderlecht boss Besnik Hasi.
We are thinking that Paars-wit may well opt for a 4-3-3 formation for this one, utilising Colin Coosemans, Ali Maamar, Lucas Hey, Jan-Carlo Simic, Moussa N'Diaye, Leander Dendoncker, César Huerta, Yari Verschaeren, Nilson Angulo, Kasper Dolberg and Thorgan Hazard.

Team News: Club Brugge
Club Brugge manager Nicky Hayen has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Kyriani Sabbe (minor knock) and Joaquin Seys (Partial muscle tear) are those who can’t be considered.
We are inclined to think that Blauw-Zwart might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Nordin Jackers, Hugo Siquet, Joel Ordóñez, Brandon Mechele, Maxim De Cuyper, Raphael Onyedika, Ardon Jashari, Christos Tzolis, Hans Vanaken, Hugo Vetlesen and Romeo Vermant.

Prediction
Our feeling is that RSC Anderlecht have the ability to get a goal against this Club Brugge team, however a single goal might not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We’re therefore tipping a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 winning score for Club Brugge at full-time. We’ll have to see what happens.
