Prediction: 2-0
Kortrijk
After failing to spoil Club Brugge’s party at Lotto Park, Anderlecht will look to return to winning ways in Jupiler League when they face Kortrijk on Matchday 13. The capital club are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home in all competitions, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Both Thorgan Hazard and Jan Vertonghen remain in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
De Kerels, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels. As Kortrijk have already suffered four defeats on the road this season, we do not believe that Anderlecht will have a better chance than this to get back on course. All Patrik Gunnarson, Mark Mampassi, and Massimo Bruno are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side, while midfielder Ryan Alebiosu is unlikely to be risked.
Highlighted Team (Anderlecht):
Founded on 27 May, 1908, Anderlecht are considered one of the oldest clubs in Belgium. The Paars-wit are the dominant force in the Belgian Pro League and in 2014 they won their 33rd domestic trophy. Anderlecht did remarkably well to win the UEFA Super Cup title in 1983, with the team defeating Benfica in the final of the competition.
The Belgian outfit recorded a 1-0 over the Eagles in the first leg, with the two teams playing out a 1-1 draw in the return leg. Anderlecht play their home games at Constant Vanden Stock Stadium, the venue that was opened in 1917. The stadium was renovated in 1983 and current capacity of Anderlecht’s home ground is 28 063.
The Paars-wit have long-standing rivalries with the likes of Standard Liege and Club Brugge, whilst FC Brussels were considered the club’s bitter opponents in the past. The likes of Besnik Hasi, Lucas Biglia, Filip De Wilde and Romelu Lukaku are some of Anderlecht’s notable players.
