RSC Anderlecht recovered last week after the debacle in Westerlo by deservedly beating revelation STVV. But the people of Brussels also want to confirm that they will be moving on Sunday evening. Coach Besnik Hasi has already announced his selection for the clash against Antwerp FC.
After a somewhat hesitant start to the season, Anderlecht has achieved good results in recent weeks. It eliminated KRC Genk in the Croky Cup and completed a nice series in the competition, including victories against Club Brugge and Union SG. In this way, the Purple & White presented themselves as a title candidate again.

Confirm on move
Nevertheless, doubts are still being cast here and there about the title chances of the people of Brussels. Hasi’s team usually performs well in front of its own people and the results are impressive. But things remain difficult for the Belgian record champion when traveling.
This season, Anderlecht have only won three away matches in the competition. On Cercle Brugge and FCV Dender, the last two teams in the rankings. But that dates back to August. They also won at La Louvière, but that happened on a thief with a goal in extra time.
Laundry list of absentees
The Purple & White wants to achieve a convincing result on Sunday. Although that will not be easy against the reborn Antwerp. Moreover, Hasi is missing a lot of players. In addition to Kana, Camara, Augustinsson and Huerta, Stroeykens is now also in the rag.
As a result, a striking name makes his return to the competition team. For example, young Tajouart was brought into the group for the trip to the Bosuil. Although there is little chance that he will also make minutes. Furthermore, it is mainly hoped that not too much happens at the back with only five available defenders for four places.
Our last away game of 2025. 🟣⚪ #ANTAND
