🗞️ Team News: RSC Anderlecht

Jan Vertonghen (Overstretching), Killian Sardella (Hamstring muscle injury), Samuel Edozie (minor knock) and Elyess Dao (Ankle injury) will be missing for RSC Anderlecht manager Besnik Hasi.

It seems likely that Paars-wit will possibly kick off with a 4-3-3 system for this game and select 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 boss Nicky Hayen has not got a full squad to pick from. Kyriani Sabbe (minor knock) and Joaquin Seys (Partial muscle tear) can’t be considered.

There’s a good chance that Blauw-Zwart seem likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of 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.
