Probably 4-4-2 with Mpenza on the midfield

RSC Anderlecht haven't performed well in the competition until now. But coach Hugo Broos knows for sure: "It will be different against Benfica." In the mean time, he trained behind closed doors with different formations.


Broos wanted to find out if a formation with 3 strikers (Mpenza, Aruna and Jestrovic) would work. But it's more likely that he will place Mbo Mpenza on the right midfield-position, with Jestrovic and Aruna as strikers in a 4-4-2 formation. With Wilhelmsson on the left, and Baseggio in the centre that would be a very offensive formation.

"But also a defence with 3 players is still an option", explained Broos. 3-4-3, 3-5-2, 4-4-2 or 4-3-3: a difficult decision for Hugo Broos, who wants to play his second Champions League campaign in a row.
