Preview: Standard - Anderlecht

GAMES Tonight at 6 pm it is Clasico-time. At the borders of the Meuse, Anderlecht have their place in the top six to defend. We mainly look at whether Peter Zulj can confirm his promising debut from last week and whether Yannick Bolasie will already show his magic.


In comparison with last week Francis Amuzu returns from suspension and Alexis Saelemaekers disappears to the penalty box. Sebastiaan Bornauw is fit again and Kara Mbodj gets another mate next to him for the third match in a row. Zulj may be in the starting eleven for the first time.

Standard said farewell to key player Luyindama on Deadline Day. Seasonal revelation Djenepo is suspended.
