Anderlecht are under pressure after the disappointing draw against Westerlo, which resulted in criticism of the coach. A board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, where Jesper Fredberg and Brian Riemer will be up for discussion. Despite Riemer's mediocre performance, he will still be in charge during the match against Genk. The RSCA management will not take any hasty decisions and will carefully evaluate the situation.
The RSC Anderlecht public got to know Samuel Edozie on Saturday against Westerlo, who was allowed to fill in for Yari Verschaeren on the hour. The English winger introduced the Lotto Park to him in a pleasant way.
A very weak Anderlecht suffered a 0-2 defeat against Genk. Anderlecht was thoroughly outplayed in the first half, with Genk dominating and only leading 0-1 at halftime thanks to Coosemans, who saved a penalty. After Sor missed a big chance, substitute Adedeji scored the second goal after the break.
Leander Dendoncker realises that tomorrow against Genk must be better than against Westerlo. He himself says he still lacks some match rhythm, but he continues to work hard on that to get back on level terms.
RSC Anderlecht will host Racing Genk tomorrow evening at Lotto Park. Erik Lambrechts will whistle the match at 8pm. Jo De Weirdt, Kevin Monteny are the linesmen, Nicolas Laforge is fourth official.
RSC Anderlecht will play a postponed match against Genk tomorrow, that match was originally scheduled for August 24 and at that time both players were not yet with RSC Anderlecht. So in principle they may not take part tomorrow either, however, there is an exception if postponement is due to European preliminaries, which is now the case.
Anderlecht was held to a 2-2 home draw against Westerlo. Westerlo earned their point as Anderlecht played too passively for 70 minutes. Despite taking an early lead, Anderlecht allowed Westerlo to equalize before halftime. In the second half, a defensive mistake allowed Westerlo to take the lead, which finally prompted Anderlecht to attack more aggressively. Stroeykens salvaged a point for Anderlecht.
