📰 Team News: RSC Anderlecht

Ludwig Augustinsson (Knee injury), Majeed Ashimeru (Torn muscle bundle), Jan Vertonghen (Achilles tendon problems) and Thorgan Hazard (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for RSC Anderlecht manager David Hubert.

We are thinking that Paars-wit will possibly go for a 4-2-3-1 system this time, handing starts to Colin Coosemans, Killian Sardella, Jan-Carlo Simic, Mathias Joergensen, Moussa N'Diaye, Theo Leoni, Mats Rits, Anders Dreyer, Mario Stroeykens, Samuel Edozie and Kasper Dolberg.

📰 Team News: KAA Gent

KAA Gent manager Wouter Vrancken has to choose a team with limited availability. Noah Fadiga (heart problems), Aimé Omgba (Knee surgery), Hugo Gambor (Hamstring injury), Sven Kums (Calf muscle tear) and Stefan Mitrovic (Calf injury) are not ready for selection.

We’re of the thinking that De Buffalo's appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation using Davy Roef, Matisse Samoise, Tsuyoshi Watanabe, Jordan Torunarigha, Archie Brown, Mathias Delorge, Atsuki Ito, Franck Surdez, Omri Gandelman, Momodou Sonko and Max Dean.

💡 Prediction

We feel that RSC Anderlecht look likely to score more than once when they face KAA Gent, who might well find it difficult scoring.

We’re therefore expecting to see a controlled 2-0 winning margin for RSC Anderlecht at full-time.
