GAMES Can Anderlecht can get back on track against Antwerp after two defeats? If it plays like the second half against Club Brugge, a first win in Play-Off 1 is certainly in it. More than ever it is looking forward to the team that Fred Rutten sends onto the pitch.


Backs Appiah and Obradovic performed well below the required level against Genk and Club Brugge. They must fear for their place. Najar is the logical replacement for Appiah, but who will replace Obradovic? Milic did not make the match sheet Thursday, something Cobbaut has not been able to do for a long time. Will Lawrence move to the left back and will Bornauw or Sanneh join the team? It might be.

We are also curious whether Rutten will once again opt for a three-man defense. He turned things around against Club in the course of the match and it caught on. In that case, Najar and Amuzu are the logical choices on the side. It is also a question of whether Bolasie will keep its place as a deep striker. He swirled against Club Brugge, but Antwerp will not give that much space.
