With an average of 3.5 goals per match over the last six games alone, both teams have scored 21 goals, with KAA Gent accounting for 15 of those goals.

Brian Riemer, the manager of RSC Anderlecht, is missing several players from the team. Yari Verschaeren (ruptured cruciate ligament), Théo Leoni (ankle injury), and Justin Lonwijk (knock) will not be playing here.
