Preview: Anderlecht - Standard

GAMES Anderlecht will receive the leader in the evening. Standard has 12 points after five match days. Anderlecht are still looking for their first win of the season, but cannot count on Vincent Kompany tonight. Will it finally get paid for the hard work?


The infirmary of Anderlecht is full of. Not only Kompany reported there this week, his potential replacement Marco Kana also sustained an injury. This gives Elias Cobbaut the best papers to start alongside Philippe Sandler in the heart of the defense. Or does the acquisition Derreck Luckassen immediately get a place in the starting eleven? In principle, he is eligible to play.

In the offensive department, Luka Adzic sees his good substitution last week possibly rewarded with a first basic place. Furthermore, it is important to look out who will be the central striker this weekend. Will Kompany again opt for a false nine with Samir Nasri or Pieter Gerkens, or will he go for 'real' striker Isaac Kiese Thelin?

Standard will not be able to count on the suspended Maxime Lestienne. Alen Halilovic is on his way to Heerenveen and is not in the selection.
