Winning game plan for both
This RSC Anderlecht vs Union St.-Gilloise preview will explore whether Anderlecht can control possession and break down Union’s solid defence or if Union’s high-tempo, pressing game and quality in transition can outplay the hosts. Anderlecht are a possession-based team and look to build from the back while Union are a high-tempo side that use their disciplined wing-backs and compact three at the back to dominate transitions.
Anderlecht’s most dangerous player up front in the Championship Group is Adriano Bertaccini, who has scored two goals in his last three appearances. The hosts are solid defensively at home, conceding just 0.94 goals per game on average in this group. Mihajlo Cvetkovic is another danger, notching three goals in Anderlecht’s last five games. Union have a solid defence away from home, conceding just 0.75 per game in the Championship Group, but they score a reasonable 1.19 goals per away game in the group, which should be enough to see them through.
