Royal Antwerp will host Anderlecht at the Bosuilstadion on Sunday evening in another round of the 2022-23 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side enjoyed a brilliant start to their season but have lost their way of late, falling behind in the race for the league title. They were beaten 1-0 by Sporting Charleroi last time out and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
Royal Antwerp sit second in the league table with 33 points from 15 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track when they play this weekend.
Anderlecht kicked off their campaign in a sluggish manner, prompting the dismissal of manager Felice Mazzu just three months into his reign as head coach. They have, however, found good form under new boss Robin Veldeman. They picked up a 4-2 home win over KAS Eupen in their last Pro League game before wrapping up their Europa League group stage campaign with a 2-0 win over Silkeborg.
The visitors sit 10th in the league table, with just 19 points from 15 games. They will aim to continue their good run of form on Sunday.
