Anderlecht - statistics & current form
The last season was very disappointing for Brussels. At the time of the pandemic-related cancellation, the violet-whites were in a disappointing eighth place in the table and would have missed the championship round had they been carried out normally. Quite different this season.
Free soccer predictions
The regular season ended the RSC as third in the table of the Jupiler League and so moved into the championship round, in which it was together with Genk, Antwerp and the upcoming opponent from Bruges for the national title. But in the final round, the hosts are still without a win after four games and are in third place.

Anderlecht will start in the Conference League next year
In addition to the 1: 2 defeat against Genk, points were shared in Bruges (2: 2) and Genk (1: 1), as well as against Antwerp (2: 2). This means that the Belgian record champions are level on points with Royal Antwerp. Both teams will compete in the new Conference League next year. The six-point gap to Genker, who is in second place, can only be made up theoretically in the last two games.

During the regular doubles round, the violet-whites' strength was their stable defense. With 34 goals conceded, the team of head coach Vincent Kompany provided the second-best defensive line and received only one hit per game on average.

RSC does not confirm good defensive performance in the championship round
This quota was not kept in the championship round, but almost doubled. Certainly one of the reasons that in the end it will not jump out more than third place. The top scorer of the RSC is the German U21 international Lukas Nmecha. He scored 14 times in the main round and also netted twice in the championship group.

If they lose, they face a final against Genk
In the best-case scenario, the blue-blacks go into the game as champions if KRC Genk does not win the game against Antwerp in the early evening. But if the blue-whites do their homework and lose Bruges in Anderlecht later that evening, a real championship final awaits the fans on the last day of the match.
