Anderlecht will welcome Sporting Charleroi to the Lotto Park for the final game of the regular season in the Jupiler League on Sunday.

Charleroi, meanwhile, were rampant in a 5-0 whitewash of Cercle Brugge on home turf. Vakoun Bayo set the ball rolling with a first-half brace and assist before making way for Anass Zaroury, who completed the rout.
The victory saw them solidify their grip on sixth spot, having garnered 51 points from 32 games. Anderlecht are seven points better off and a spot above them in the table.
