Anderlecht will face Royale Union Saint-Gilloise at the Lotto Park on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a largely solid league campaign and are now targeting a return to the European stage. They were held to a 1-1 draw by OH Leuven in their last league outing, finding themselves a goal down just 10 minutes after kickoff before Louis Patris scored a stunning equalizer against his former employers midway through the second half.
Anderlecht sit second in the league table with 43 points from 21 games. They are eight points behind their weekend opponents in the league table and will be looking to reduce that gap on Sunday.
Royale Union Saint-Gilloise have performed brilliantly this season and are going full steam ahead in pursuit of their first league title since the 1930s.
They picked up a 2-1 win over Sint-Truidense last time out with Ross Sykes and Ecuador international Kevin Rodriguez getting on the scoresheet late in either half to overturn an early deficit.
