With two returnees and a transfer from the start: the probable compositions of Anderlecht-Antwerp

In the axis, Simic could be directly accompanied by Adryelson, if the recruit’s affiliation has been validated by the federation. Loaned by Lyon, the Brazilian is fit and already ready to play despite a lack of rhythm.

Several candidates for the position of playmaker

Dendoncker could thus move up a notch, to his favorite place. Unless Antwerp chooses its system with three defenders. Hubert could then adapt and give a hybrid role between the middle and the last line to the Devil.

Could Hazard experience his first start at number 10 after his injury? The possibility exists but Hubert has often given Degreef playing time in the Belgian Cup. Verschaeren and Leoni, to strengthen the environment, can also apply.

With the return of Dolberg, no suspense ahead in theory with a Dreyer and Edozie trident surrounding the Danish striker.

On the Antwerp side, Jonas De Roeck has the players available to put back the same eleven which had crushed the Union (5-1) in the previous round. In a 3-5-2 system where Valencia (right) and Kerk (up front) do poorly. Let us note, however, that in the last ten duels between Anderlecht and Antwerp, Number 1 has only won… once.
