Anderlecht will travel to Stayen with confidence on Sunday evening for the confrontation with STVV. After ten games without defeat and a nice win over Sparta Prague in the Europa League, David Hubert’s team is in a good flow.
The news that Yari Verschaeren may be available after his injury against Slavia Prague only reinforces that feeling. Samuel Edozie also seems available again, which offers extra options on the flank.
There is a different atmosphere at opponent STVV. The Limburgers are stuck in the bottom regions of the rankings and hope to recover against Anderlecht. However, that will be a difficult task, as they will have to do without their top scorer Adriano Bertaccini.
The striker, good for ten goals in fifteen league games, is suspended after his fifth yellow card in the cup match against Cercle Brugge. Anderlecht, on the other hand, can count on Kasper Dolberg, who has also scored ten times this season.
The Danish striker is an important weapon in the attack of the people of Brussels and will undoubtedly hope to further increase his goal total. However, David Hubert has warned his players not to underestimate STVV, especially on the difficult-to-play artificial grass of Stayen.
Despite the lack of Bertaccini, STVV will try to make it difficult for Anderlecht with their well-known compact playing style and quick transitions. The Limburgers know that every point is crucial in their fight against relegation and will want to fight for a result in front of their home crowd.
