Issues before the game against Antwerp

GAMES Besnik Hasi must shuffle with his eleven that plays the important match at Antwerp tomorrow afternoon. If Sporting White do not lose, the fourth place seems increasingly certain, but with a defeat it could still be in danger.


With the cup final coming up, today's game is not very convenient. However, Hasi will have to remind the players of the importance of the match, because with a win Antwerp will be within two points and they still have a game to play in Gent. With either Anderlecht or Club Brugge winning the Croky Cup, fourth place offers certainty of European soccer. Fifth in the standings will have to face the winner of the Europe playoffs in a match and that's a match you definitely want to avoid.

In any case, Hasi cannot count on Hazard and Simic. Hazard suffered cramps on Sunday and will be rested. Simic is yellow suspended, but Adryelson is not yet ready to play. At the back, Anderlecht will have to puzzle again as often happened before the New Year.

Other players who recently returned from injury may also get rest. With that, Dolberg and Verschaeren quickly come into the picture.

Hasi sees it as an opportunity for other players to show themselves. Possibly De Cat will make his first start.
