"If we lose, we play for the 2nd place"

Two days before the clash with Brugge, there is a relaxed atmosphere in Anderlecht: "I heard that the Brugians are happy with a draw", said Yves Vanderhaeghe, "well, so are we".
Trainer Hugo Broos realises the importance of the game.

"The game is not of vital importance, but if we lose, we'll have to play for the second place. Club won't lose 11 points after the winter break".
Anderlecht will be able to play with their complete team, since Walter Baseggio and Glen De Boeck are almost recovered.
