Preview: FC Brussels - RSC Anderlecht

This evening, the derby between FC Brussels and RSC Anderlecht will take place. Anderlecht are on top of the Jupiler League, FC Brussels are on a 12th position.


Still, this doesn't look like an easy game for the Mauves. They have to deal with a lot of injured players, especially in the defensive compartment they miss some key players.

: : : RSC Anderlecht : : :

Possible line-up: Daniël Zitka, Anthony Vanden Borre, Mark De Man, Hannu Tihinen, Olivier Deschacht, Yves Vanderhaeghe, Walter Baseggio, Bart Goor, Christian Wilhelmsson, Mbo Mpenza, Serhat Akin
Replacements: Silvio Proto, Laurent Delorge, Besnik Hasi, Nenad Jestrovic, Goran Lovré, Michal Zewlakow, Lamine Traoré, Grégory Pujol

Injured: Roland Juhasz (foot), Vincent Kompany (back), Pär Zetterberg (back)
Suspended: Nobody
On 1 card of a suspension: Nobody
Remark: Kompany will be out for a few weeks with a back injury. Roland Juhasz was expected to replace him, but he caught a foot injury on training yesterday. So Mark De Man will probably play. Also Walter Baseggio will be back in the team again, because Pär Zetterberg is injured. Will Daniël Zitka be between the posts, of will Franky Vercauteren choose for Silvio Proto?
