📰 Team News: KAA Gent

Maksim Paskotsi (Ankle injury), Gilles De Meyer (Shoulder injury), Abdoul Ayinde (unknown injury), Mohammed El Âdfaoui (Broken foot) and Matisse Samoise (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing for KAA Gent gaffer Rik De Mil.

It looks as if De Buffalo's could line up in a 3-4-3 system for this game and select Davy Roef, Jean-Kevin Duverne, Matties Volckaert, Siebe van der Heyden, Michal Skoras, Tibe De Vlieger, Leonardo Lopes, Tiago Araujo, Aime Omgba, Ibrahima Cisse and Hyllarion Goore.

🗞️ Team News: RSC Anderlecht

RSC Anderlecht boss Jérémy Taravel has to currently contend with reduced team options. Danylo Sikan (Adductor injury), Mario Stroeykens (Hamstring muscle injury) and Nathan-Dylan Saliba (minor knock) won’t be making appearances.

We’re of the thinking that Paars-wit seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Colin Coosemans, Ilay Camara, Mathys Angely, Lucas Hey, Ludwig Augustinsson, Marco Kana, Nathan De Cat, Mihajlo Cvetkovic, Yari Verschaeren, Tristan Degreef and Adriano Bertaccini.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that RSC Anderlecht might need a bit of good fortune to break down this KAA Gent outfit who we think should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 winning score for KAA Gent at the conclusion of the game.

Looking forward to this.
