Preview: Antwerp - Anderlecht

GAMES With a visit to Antwerp, Anderlecht will face a difficult task tonight. During the previous matches, the purple and white played very nice at times, but still made it unnecessarily difficult for themselves. Against the Great Old, Anderlecht can take a step forward.


Anderlecht will miss the suspended Arnstad. Diawara replaces him. Hoedt is missing from the selection because he expressed his dissatisfaction with his place on the bench. It will be watching to see which backs Veldman chooses next: Murillo or Sadiki on the right and Delcroix or N'Diaye on the left.

Antwerp started the season like a whirlwind, but lost its plumes in the meantime. After four defeats in the last six games, some criticism is coming here and there at the Bosuil as well. With a defeat or draw against Anderlecht, Unioin might see Club Brugge and Union flip over.

Antwerp coach Marc van Bommel cannot count on Sam Vines. The regular left back suffered a tibia fracture at training Friday. Radja Nainggolan is still in the B nucleus.
