Anderlecht will host Royal Antwerp at the Lotto Park on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side enjoyed a strong pre-season campaign but could not translate that to a winning start in their league opener last weekend. They were beaten 2-0 by Royale Union Saint-Gilloise at the Staphe Joseph Marien conceding a goal in either half in an overall low-key affair.
Anderlecht sit 15th in the league table with zero points. They will be looking to shake off their latest result and pick up their first win of the season this weekend.
Trending
Antwerp have picked up where they left off last season as they made their return to competitive action with a win over Mechelen in the Belgian Super Cup last month. They beat Cercle Brugge 1-0 in their league opener last weekend, taking the lead just before the interval via an own goal from Cercle's Jesper Daland.
The visitors will be looking to continue their good run of form this weekend.
