Prediction: 1-1
St Gilloise
Anderlecht will be aiming to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Club Brugge when they take on St Gilloise in the Jupiler League derby. The hosts are eager to retain top position in the standings and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the fellow title hopefuls. Fit-again attacker Francis Amuzu is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Yari Verschaeren and Moussa N’Diaye should miss out with injuries.
Royale Union SG, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from back-to-back defeats to Genk and Cercle Brugge. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both Anderlecht and St Gilloise will go for a win in the local derby. Christian Burgess remains on the sidelines through suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team. In their last meeting in the Belgian elite division the two sides played out a 2-2 draw.

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.
