📰 Team News: RSC Anderlecht

Killian Sardella (Hamstring muscle injury), Tristan Degreef (Back injury) and Elyess Dao (Ankle injury) are not available for RSC Anderlecht gaffer Besnik Hasi.

It seems likely that Paars-wit will possibly go for a 4-3-3 system, beginning the first half with Colin Coosemans, Thomas Foket, Majeed Ashimeru, Marco Kana, Ludwig Augustinsson, Theo Leoni, Mats Rits, Leander Dendoncker, Nilson Angulo, Luis Vázquez and Keisuke Goto.

ℹ️ Team News: Union Saint-Gilloise

Union Saint-Gilloise boss Sébastien Pocognoli has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Guillaume François (unknown injury) and Sofiane Boufal (Muscle injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We believe Les Unionistes appear most likely to make use of a 3-5-2 formation with a starting lineup of Anthony Moris, Kevin Mac Allister, Christian Burgess, Koki Machida, Anan Khalaili, Noah Sadiki, Charles Vanhoutte, Anouar Ait El Hadj, Ousseynou Niang, Franjo Ivanovic and Mohammed Fuseini.

💭 Prediction

Our feeling is that RSC Anderlecht will need things to go their way to get anything against this Union Saint-Gilloise team who should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a very competitive game with a 0-1 victory for Union Saint-Gilloise at full-time.

Little in this one.
