We think that Blauw-Wit will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system, beginning the first half with Mike Penders, Ken Nkuba Tshiend, Josue Kongolo, Mujaid Sadick, Yaimar Medina, Patrik Hrosovsky, Nikolas Sattlberger, Yira Sor, K. Karetsas, N. Adedeji-Sternberg and Hyeon-gyu Oh.

ℹ️ Team News: RSC Anderlecht

RSC Anderlecht boss Besnik Hasi has a number of players out of action. Killian Sardella (Hamstring muscle injury), Samuel Edozie (minor knock) and Elyess Dao (Ankle injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We are inclined to think that Paars-wit appear most likely to make use of a 3-5-2 system, going with Colin Coosemans, Lucas Hey, Jan Vertonghen, Jan-Carlo Simic, Tristan Degreef, Thorgan Hazard, Nilson Angulo, Leander Dendoncker, Mats Rits, Mario Stroeykens and Kasper Dolberg.

We’re envisaging that RSC Anderlecht will need to push hard to be putting a goal past this KRC Genk team who we think should just have the edge.

That’s why we have predicted a 1-0 winning score for KRC Genk at the end of this one.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
