We think that Blauw-Wit may well employ a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match 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.

📋 Team News: RSC Anderlecht

RSC Anderlecht manager Besnik Hasi has to currently contend with reduced team options. Killian Sardella (Hamstring muscle injury), Samuel Edozie (minor knock) and Elyess Dao (Ankle injury) can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that Paars-wit seem likely to elect for a 3-5-2 system, starting Colin Coosemans, Lucas Hey, Jan Vertonghen, Jan-Carlo Simic, Tristan Degreef, Thorgan Hazard, Nilson Angulo, Leander Dendoncker, Mats Rits, Mario Stroeykens and Kasper Dolberg.

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.
