ℹ️ Team News: RSC Anderlecht

The RSC Anderlecht manager Vincent Kompany will be grateful to have no fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this game thanks to a fully healthy squad available for selection.

In all likelihood, Paars-wit should employ a 4-4-2 formation in the match and select H. van Crombrugge, Michael Amir Murillo, B. Mykhaylichenko, Wesley Hoedt, Sergio Gomez, Yari Verschaeren, Josh Cullen, Kristoffer Olsson, Lior Refaelov, Joshua Zirkzee and Francis Amuzu.

ℹ️ Team News: Standard Liège

Due to a mostly available squad, there’s only a single fitness issue for the Standard Liège gaffer Luka Elsner to be concerned about. Daouda Peeters (neuropathy) misses out for this game. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Collins Fai and Merveille Bokadi.

We’re of the thinking that Les Rouches might utilise a 4-3-3 lineup, choosing Arnaud Bodart, Ameen Al Dakhil, Moussa Sissako, Noe Dussenne, Cihan Canak, Samuel Bastien, Nicolas Raskin, Selim Amallah, Aron Dönnum, João Klauss and M. Carcela-Gonzalez.

⚡ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Standard Liège have the capability to breach the defence of this RSC Anderlecht outfit, but that possibly won’t quite be enough to avoid defeat.
