Europa League – Conference League: Anderlecht Leads as Union, Ghent, and Cercle Return to European Stage

Following Club Brugge’s participation in the Champions League, Belgium’s other four representatives will be in European action this Thursday.

On the fourth matchday of the Europa League, Anderlecht will aim to maintain their perfect record as they travel to Riga, where Latvian side RFS await them (21:00 CET). The Mauves, under the leadership of David Hubert, are expected to navigate this match without any issues. With 9 points to their name, Anderlecht is only matched by Tottenham and Lazio in terms of performance, while RFS sits with just 1 point, earned from a draw against Galatasaray (2-2).

Union finds themselves in a mathematically similar situation to the Latvians, having secured just one point from nine. It’s safe to say that the future of the Saint-Gillois in this competition is hanging by a thread. Their upcoming clash with AS Roma, even amidst the Italians’ crisis (4 defeats in 7 matches), at the King Baudouin Stadium (18:45 CET) does not instill much optimism. The Union forwards, struggling this season, may find it difficult to cope with the Italian realism. However, it’s worth noting that the Giallorossi have had a poor run on the road this season.
