Anderlecht will host Standard Liege at the Lotto Park on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The home side have struggled for results in the league this season and are falling behind in the title race as they sit seventh in the table with 14 points from nine games.
They played out a 1-1 draw against newly-promoted Dender in their last league outing, with Southampton loanee Samuel Edozie scoring in the first half to open his account for the club before their opponents leveled the scores early after the restart.
Meanwhile, Standard Liege have had mixed results in the league this season, although they remain hopeful of a top-half league finish. They were beaten 2-1 by Westerlo in their last match, heading into the break a goal down before drawing level via an Andi Zeriqi penalty strike in the second half. However, their opponents reclaimed the lead seconds later.
The visitors sit ninth in the table with 12 points from nine games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend.
